Interview

How is social media changing news?

It has made the news more accessible to everyday people, but it has also encouraged outlets to shorten and sensationalize stories for clicks.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

I was the editor-in-chief and founder of my high school's newspaper!

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?

I love reading the Onion! It's a nice way to break up the news with some humor, and a lot of the stories are very clever.
