Summary of Blogs

Welcome to my blog! This past semester I've kept a blog for my Media Law & Literacy class. Today, I published my final post, so here is a table of contents of all my work from this semester, including hyperlinks to the posts. Some of my first posts do not appear at the end of my feed of blogs for some reason, so the links will lead you to them. These will be listed in chronological order of when they were published.

"How a Gen Z'er Gets Her News" - A summary of the main sources I used at that point in time to get my news, as well as why I chose those sources.

"The Truth About the First Amendment" - In this post, I address some common misconceptions people have about the First Amendment, while also talking about how the First Amendment applies to the Capitol riots back in January.

"The Media's Censorship of Media" - In this post, I discuss my thoughts on why websites such as ANTIWAR.COM and The American Conservative are not mainstream.
