A second editorial idea that I would be very interested in learning more about is the lack of diversity in children's media. I am very interested in this topic because I know how much of an impact movies and TV shows have on the young mind and I'm curious how to dive deeper on the …
Thoughts on my first editorial
For #JMC406, I will be required to write an editorial that discusses an issue currently in the news that I am interested in covering. Although I don't feel very confident in my abilities of writing about the idea I have, I find it to be really important, specifically on UNK's campus. I'm interested in writing …
