Charlie Kirk's legacy and where Gen Z gets their news
A vigil was held at Arizona State University for Charlie Kirk, conservative influencer and founder of Turning Point USA, after his assassination on September 10th.
His career was kickstarted and his identity as a fierce debater was solidified on the ASU campus, and his message resonated with many young people.
Charlie Kirk is not the only news personality connecting with a younger generation. According to research by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center, nearly 40% of adults under 30 get their news from content creators.
This week on The Gaggle, we hear from Gen Z about what Charlie Kirk meant to them, the legacy he's leaving behind and research on where young people turn to for their news.
