My Travel Story

Hello friends and family! I've been accepted into an ASU faculty-directed study abroad program in London this summer! Here's a little info about the program:

Cronkite in London: Social Media and the News Culture
"The dynamics of Europe face monumental changes as Britain officially leaves the European Union in 2017 following the Brexit vote. Despite a shared language and a close friendship, journalism practices and media culture in England differ dramatically from those in the United States. Compare and contrast these differences in tweets, blogs and photos posted to a special Cronkite website. The experience includes cultural visits in and around London."

"You'll absorb journalism practices in the areas of ethics, culture and history unlike anything you've experienced in America. Led by Cronkite faculty with significant European experience, this program offers a unique blend of hands-on reporting experience abroad and a behind-the-scenes look at Europe's - and the world's - most influential media institutions."

"All students will earn three credits by participating in a fast-paced but in-depth class taught by two of the school's leading professors. This course is available for Honors credit. Graduate students will complete additional assignments."

I think going on this trip is an incredible opportuinty because it will allow me to see journalism not just through an American scope but through a European one. I'm really excited about the opportunity, but cannot afford it on my own. That's where you come in. Any donation big or small would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much!!!
