Abstract
The contemporary world is known as the “information age”, beyond the freedom of expression itself is a basic human need for it to remain in society – for example people desire to know what is happening around them. To fulfil this function, we now have the technology to eliminate barriers and facilitate global communication. In this environment, the informational highway plays an ever-increasing role in people’s life. The article tries to determine through a set of questionnaires how the youth political culture is shaped by evaluating the quantity and quality of information they receive through mainstream media and how important is political participation to the formation of the youth political culture.
