So, this article aims to discover: ”How to define today’s narratives of the New Social Movements in Portuguese media, in the view of young people?”. The methodological resources used are documentary research and inquiry to a nonprobabilistic sample survey by voluntary system. The most significant results found about new activism are: a) journalistic pieces are evaluated, by youth, as partial, superficial and controversial; b) the respondents associate some advantages to the new activism: flexibility, new technologies, and the perception of helping the world; c) and, finally, the respondents associate disadvantages to the new activism: extremism, violence, controversy.​
