By studying journalism, you carry with you tools for assessing arguments, and a dogged determination to find the truth in yourself and in others.
I love this work, but it is work. Living up to the standards of this difficult, competitive field is taxing. I have a long, long way to go. —Amanda Cochran —A journalist’s lessons (Girl Meets World)
Amanda is a junior journalism major here at SHU. I’ve asked her to speak to my “News Writing” class today.

I look forward to a time when I stop being kicked and start kicking back. Give Anakin Skywalker some room and watch Darth Vader go to work.
