About Me
Hey, I'm Jackson. I'm a journalist and I've had my work published in my university's newspaper as well as publishing my own work online in both print and audio. My particular specialties include technology, politics, and online culture. As a millennial who grew up with the internet, I feel that I have a particular voice that can't be easily replicated as I've witnessed the ways that culture is developing, not the way it has previously developed.
I believe I have a voice that is both unique and vibrant. I'm able to paint a picture of what it's like to be a youth in the digital age that is both relatable and fascinating, even to myself. The way we live has changed so drastically and exponentially in my lifetime than it ever has before, and this technological domination is something worth writing about.
