Perry Continente’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

My passion in journalism is hard news. I have experience handling breaking news topics and sensitive issues. I think that these topics are the ones that will have the greatest impact on the general population going forward.

For example, the recent abortion ban in Alabama. What are its effects? its implications? These are the things that matter to me, and should to everyone. I want my journalistic efforts to reflect that.

Almost every expert is saying that we need to stay quarantined, and I get it, it's hard. I'm not loving this either, but going to the beach is not worth someone's life, no matter what the throngs of people demanding they reopen might think. Anti-quarantine protestors clad in Make America Great Again hats and waving little American flags flooded Huntington Beach, bravely demanding an end to the tyranny of the lockdown and the reopening of their beloved bars and hair salons.
