I began working for the student-run school newspaper, the Quinnipiac Chronicle, within my first weeks on campus in 2016. I was quickly elevated to Associate Sports Editor after my first year (April 2017), then Sports Editor the next semester (December 2017). My jobs as Sports Editor included posting all sports content (recaps, features, etc.) online, assigning my staff of 10 writers to cover games each week and coordinating interviews with athletes through SIDs for feature pieces.

After a year running the sports section, I took a managing editor role as Web Director, which allowed me to oversee the entire group and online publication. This included editing and posting all written content on our website and on social media platforms (Twitter and Facebook). While serving this position, I retained my role as men’s basketball reporter and covered sports when needed.

Some of my fondest memories include road trips with my fellow sports writers to cover men’s and women’s basketball games.

Liberty University attacks freedom of the press

“Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.”

This section of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is pretty cut and dry, at least on the surface. Essentially, citizens have the right to speak freely and the press cannot be censored, as it is in countries like North Korea or Iran.

In today’s America, there’s still debate over this right. President Donald Trump frequently attacks the press and, in turn, attacks our democracy.

Last week, Liberty University (LU), the world’s largest evangelical Christian university, imposed a similar attack on freedom of the press. Bruce Kirk, the Dean of Liberty’s School of Communication and Digital Content, restructured the entire student newspaper, firing its Editor-In-Chief and forcing the students to write in a slanted way.
