| Summary: | Being a woman in journalism is often accompanied by a specific set of challenges. It is Katie's first day as an intern at her hometown newspaper, and she could not be more excited. There is an added thrill when she learns her cubicle is near her favorite columnist's office, a seasoned professional called Marge. However, while Katie is familiar with columns written by Marge, she is unaware of the sexism, racism, and harassment that her favorite columnist has faced on social media while working at the newspaper. Katie, only hours into her internship, is now starting to see the industry differently, while questioning if she still wants to be a journalist. Students will be asked to examine the troubles journalists sometimes face through social media and will use critical thinking in developing ways to overcome those challenges. |
