by on ·Contemporary, Nonfiction

For the greater part a year, titles have been packed with reports of well known protests and police restraint occurring in the most popular city in China’s Pearl River Delta, the previous British colony of Hong Kong. For considerably longer, Western columnists have chronicled the region’s marvelously aggressive nearby framework projects, from noteworthy new fast rail lines to an extension of unrivaled length that runs from Hong Kong to the previous Portuguese settlement of Macau and from that gambling club filled island to the city of Zhuhai in Guangdong Province. These foundation projects, part of a drive to make a…

From Cronkite to Colbert

From Cronkite to Colbert by Geoffrey Baym is a book I have read at least three times. This text is extremely important for people interested in journalism and or media studies. This is a great book to have on hand because it discusses the evolution of what audiences believe a news anchor should be. I will make note of the fact that the book was originally published in 2009 and does not dive into a lot of what has currently been going on in the world of news, especially entertainment shows and satirical programs. As the title suggests, Baym stopped…

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell has quickly become one of my favorite novels. Cather, nicknamed Cath, has always relied on her twin sister, Wren, for companionship. Growing up, the two read Simon Snow and wrote fanfiction together. After their mother left, the sisters relied on the fantastical storylines they read and penned to fill a void, allowing them to fall into a magical mystical world and spend time together doing something they loved.
