EDITOR’S CORNER: Tying together the trio Reply

I’ve loved putting my heart and soul into The 1851 Chronicle for the past four years at Lasell. As I apply for jobs, I have plenty of writing examples thanks to this newspaper. However, I wish I had more video content or maybe a radio show to write scripts for since being a journalist today is to be a jack of all trades.

In honor of Women’s History Month, Brennan Library has displayed a series of photographs that feature well-known, female liberal politicians. The display features headshots of four women who appear on the March edition of Rolling Stone Magazine: Ilhan Omar, Jahana Hayes, Nancy Pelosi, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The display, though done in good faith is a catalyst for conservative marginalization.
