This collection is a look into local, non-profit and independent journalism. "From 2022-2025, I have been studying journalism by watching Youtube, attending college classes, conducting interviews, and writing articles. By doing so, I have learned to take a close look at what and where I receive information of any sort. This journal is a reflection of my thoughts and subjects learned thus far in my personal journey in and observation of the field of journalism. " While pursuing my newfound mission, journalism and reporting the facts, I find it somewhat frustrating to learn the hurtful truth of reality. As I critically analyze society and the direction in which it is headed; it seems we are 'back to the future' like the movie. Time traveling backwards. It feels like we are back in 1950s-60s and God forbid we go back any further. "Summer 2022, I was walking downtown Ann Arbor while selling Groundcover News when I met a friend of mine and also a writer Jaz Brennan. The first thing she said to me was, 'Where is the outrage!?' referring to the American people's response to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on ending the federal right to an abortion June 24, 2022. This decision overturned Roe v. Wade decision of 1973.

OFFER EXPIRES 4/16/2026 TRUTH from page 14 The ordinary spell Not the magic of superstition. Not the whisper of the occult. A different spell. The spell of a word kept. A promise honored. A signature respected. A reputation earned slowly — and lost quickly. In a family, truth is air. In friendship, it is a bridge. In commerce, it is credit. In science, it is method. In a republic, it is architecture. Break enough words, and walls collapse. Ancient formulas once claimed: I create as I speak. They may not have been entirely wrong. Every sentence builds or corrodes. Every claim either strengthens trust or introduces fracture. Every lie increases entropy in the civic fabric. The deepest magic is not mystical. It is mutual. To speak truthfully is to participate in construction. To lie is to introduce structural stress into a shared world. A republic cannot normalize lies. It needs honoured citizens whose words hold.
