The Respect? Campaign, supported by online charity YouthNet and the British Youth Council, has launched an online guide to help young people comment on news stories by emailing, posting on forums, writing to editors and calling TV and radio programmes.
The campaign group wants 1,000 young people to sign an online pledge promising to make their voices heard.
The campaign has already been running for three years. Sophie Manning, member of the campaign group, said: "We have been targeting politicians and journalists to get them to change the news and political agenda - now it's our turn to meet them in the middle."
