CNN’s Jake Tapper on young voices in the media. PolicyMic’s DC Political Editor Mark Kogan sat down with CNN Chief Washington Correspondent Jake Tapper to discuss his new book “The Outpost,” to be released next week. Here’s a teaser:

MK: What role do you think young voices have to play in the world of journalism and especially in the broadcast world?

JT: I think [young voices] are important. I think one of the things that is important for the media is to have voices with some expertise and experience and that’s probably why young people are not featured as often, just by the fact that they’re limited in their experiences and expertise by age. But I think that can change.

The suggestion I would make for young people who want to be part of the discussion is become an expert. I mean, you can be a 26-year-old expert on something, whether it’s having an experience in the military or in the inner city or on a farm or in some sort of cause. That will make you more of an asset in the media … [and] that’s what will bring attention to you from media, whether it’s CNN or ABC or the New York Times.

I recall reading op-eds at my college newspaper when I was in college, and I didn’t care what a 21-year-old thought about Reagan’s policy in Central America. If I wanted that, I would read William Safire or Tom Friedman or whoever was writing columns at that point. But, I was interested in what people my age thought about things that they had actually experienced and I think that that’s the general rule: get experience, know about something, and everything else will follow.

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act is on the fast track to pass the Senate, but House Speaker John Boehner came out on Monday against the bill which bans discrimination in the workplace based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Boehner called ENDA a piece of “frivolous legislation,” thereby dimming the chances it will pass the Republican-controlled house.
