    A cloud has descended over the United States of America. I’m not talking about an actual weather system, of course, but a phenomenon that has shaken the nation to its core. As long as you are near any screens, you will find yourself a target for waves of mass messaging campaigns. That’s right, it’s everyone’s favorite time of the year — political ad season! Jokes aside, the sheer volume of ads that ran during this year’s Senate and governor cycles in Minnesota has been ridiculous. There were so

    One of the very first skills drilled into all journalism and strategic communication majors is media literacy. I will always remember the practice drills from my mass communication course, debating angles and biases with my classmates, and deciding which sources are trustworthy.

    Two-thirds of my way through college, planning for the future has not gotten easier. College is a unique form of limbo where the whole point is to gain skills that will benefit us in our future careers, and yet we don’t know what the future may hold, especially in the current job market.
