Future research on youth participation and media should be designed for the perceived importance of the role of the media and its impact on youth. Therefore, a study was conducted to determine the issues that affect youth lives as voiced by them. The youth participation was tracked for six months through contents submitted to a web platform in the form of web tv, web radio and web journalism. This paper presents the issues in politics, social and economic that are seen as major concerns to the youth in marginalized communities in Malaysia. The highest viewed submissions are identified as the main issues.
