Today’s media landscape is quickly evolving. With the rapid expansion of social media in the past two decades, media has drastically changed to be more digital, more fast paced, and far more complicated. As of 2022, a majority of Americans now use online sources, including social media, to access the news, according to Reuters Institute 2022 Digital News Report.
Every time I read the news, scroll on social media, or even just step outside, I’m inundated with news of escalating global tensions. The death toll in Gaza exceeded 24,000 people, the United Nations reported that over 7.4 million people have been displaced by the war in Sudan and an onslaught of missile attacks hit Ukraine all within the span of three days. It’s harrowing.
As we look back on 2023, there were many times when immigration seemed to dominate the headlines of major newspapers. This prevalence of immigration discourse in the media is likely due in part to controversial immigration legislation.
One of the most common pieces of advice that people gave me (often unsolicitedly) before starting my first semester of college was to not sign up for any morning classes. They told me that I wasn’t in high school anymore, so I had the freedom to choose my own schedule, and God forbid I would have to be out of bed before the clock said “p.m.”
In recent years, discussions of the proper terminology to describe people who lack stable housing have emerged in the media.

For those of us who have grown up almost exclusively hearing the word 'homeless,' the shift toward new terms may seem confusing and unnecessary at first.
Election Day is fast approaching, but you probably don’t need me to tell you that. Chances are, you’ve already heard about the elections from the news, social media or a neighbor. As English speakers, this information seems almost unavoidable. You could live under a rock and still find candidates slipping flyers through the cracks.
Ever since I got my first taste of civic engagement in fourth grade student council elections, I’ve yearned for the day when I can proudly wear a red, white and blue “I Voted” sticker on my chest.
How often do you think about the Roman Empire? It’s a question that may have garnered confused looks a couple of weeks ago, but has since found its place in the cultural zeitgeist through a TikTok trend.
The last vestiges of the sunrise cast a warm glow over the hallway in Hinton James Residence Hall. I’m bleary-eyed and so focused on regretting my decision to register for an 8 a.m. class that I almost miss the uneaten hamburger lying in my path. Smashed french fries span from wall to wall and blood-red ketchup splatters cover the ground. It’s a crime scene worthy of an FBI investigation.
