I <3 Sleep
I was sitting up at about 3am last night, the night before the big ‘sleep in’, the night before the first time I would be able to feel what its like to wake up without the loud-the-world-is-ending-death-sound ringing and disturbing my dreams of super stardom in Asia…and I couldn’t fall asleep. I thought back to … Read more
The Future of Food- “He who Controls Food, Controls the world.”
A trip to the grocery store or local market has changed dramatically over the last 25 years. With commercials in abundance about the “fresh” image that each respective grocery store tries to market, we think we are making the right choices. What is happening right now with our food is not something most people think … Read more

She simply said “I don’t get this one….” I replied, “I don’t either” and took the picture down. It … Read more

On the truth…
“We know there is a vast morass of information out there that our audiences want us to try to make sense of. The danger consists in trying to leap above it, not by getting more dramatic or salient or verifiable facts, but by analyzing, speculating, predicting, interpreting – by drawing definitive conclusions while the bodies … Read more
“To change, or not to change….That is the question…”
As a future journalist, I am concerned for the integrity of the truth. I am even more concerned with the fact that some people in my program think that there is nothing wrong with altering an image. We are not artists, nor should we be concerned with what is beautiful unless it is integral to … Read more
