Decca HarperDream internship: I've read a lot of fantastic articles from The Atlantic, so I'd go with that. Possibly the Taipei Times? Favorite news source/podcast/print publication/book you can’t live without: I always enjoy picking up a copy of our school newspaper, The Catalyst. In general, I don't rely on one particular publication or book. The reading I do depends on what I'm trying to learn about at the time. For example, when I was researching Thai politics for a journalism class, I found publications like the Bangkok Post and New Mandala useful. What advice would you give young you (or anyone)? Do not lose your watermelon. I still haven't found it. |
