Reporting and Writing

I started my journalism journey in writing, and it's still what I'm most passionate about. The descriptions and stories are linked to the pictures.

Down the Digital Rabbit Hole

Writing and reporting on this subject was an extremely interesting experience. When we distributed the quarterly survey for my publication, a large percentage of students said they had been politically affected by the internet. I was able to conduct interviews, both anonymously and and publicly in which people admitted to going down the alt-right pipeline. This is my favorite article that I've written.

The Cost of Success

This is currently still going through drafts, and it is a co written story, which is why some transitions may have editorializing. I am not fixing things for my co writing staffer because I want him to learn on his own and realize how strong of a writer he is as he moves through drafts! This article is especially meaningful to me as a journalist because I had to combine knowledge of data collection through a school wide survey and I had to interview students about a difficult topic. While writing this, I attempted to handle the issue with sensitivity and make people feel represented and able to ask for help.

Getting Older, Younger

I thoroughly enjoyed writing this editorial because of how I was able to localize a topic seemingly irrelevant to teenagers back to our student body. At first, it was difficult to discover a call to action because the topic of this editorial was related to children growing up too fast, so many members of my editorial board thought there was no relation to us. However, once I discovered a clear angle I could take, I felt more comfortable writing.
