This summer I have had the privilege of introducing myself as the intern at the Commonwealth Journal, and with it I have gained experience, perspective and yes - some college credit.
As a college student, the first question I am usually asked upon introduction is, "Oh, so what are you studying to be?"
Though too often when I eagerly respond with journalist there is an obvious pause and a hesitant, "⦠Why?"
Even while introducing myself in a writing class this past semester with the typical format of "Name, where are you from, and what's your major," when I said journalism, my professor immediately made a remark about me being a part of "fake news" and "paparazzi."
