Maariv LaNoar, an Israeli youth magazine, has launched a special election project aimed at educating young people about the upcoming elections. The project includes interviews with party leaders and profiles of parties that declined to be interviewed, providing a platform for all political factions to present their platforms and stances.
The magazine's editorial team emphasized the journalistic, civic, and moral importance of offering an unbiased platform for all parties. For those parties that did not agree to interviews, Maariv LaNoar created profile pieces summarizing their platforms and highlighting their legislative actions and statements by party members in Knesset committees.
The initiative seeks to equip young Israelis, many of whom are eligible to vote for the first time, with the information needed to make informed decisions. The magazine urges young voters to research, read, discuss, and critically evaluate candidates and their platforms, encouraging them to look beyond slogans and consider actions and reality.
The project also addresses the feeling of helplessness that can accompany political realities, encouraging active participation through voting and engagement throughout the year. The magazine stresses that while many young readers may not yet be of voting age, their opinions still matter and can influence change.
