Topic 1: In no particular order, I am a self-professing lover of sports, facts and my family. I am an undereducated professional in the IT world and my first love was Journalism. I need these credits to attain some prominence in my own professional life and I was lucky enough to stumble on a class that appears to project and discuss where media is in society today and I am looking forward to discussing that further in depth with today's youth (Get off my lawn, I'm only 34...) Topic 2: My main three sources of news are 1. Reddit 2. The Washington Post and 3. Anything that I can independently verify. Why? Well... Reddit can be a bountiful cornucopia of memes and aww-inspired pics, but it can be a cadre for massive amounts of awe-inspiring knowledge, it just depends on how hard you are willing to try and find it. The Washington Post because I happily pay that reduced priced annual subscription and I wholeheartedly endorse the work their team has been doing over the last two year
