Dear Dan,

How are you? My first few weeks of class have been good but stressful. At first I took four classes, but now I’m taking three. Have you seen the news lately? Crazy stuff. I’ve always thought running a newspaper soundeds fun, but it also seemedsounds like it would take a lot of work to maintain journalistic integrity. It must be so hardMark my words: news is interesting! People like to read it to learn about the world around them. I think the most important thing is to always tell the truth and never lie. Have you read anything new about the news? Do you have a favorite newspaper? Who is your favorite character in the news?

I hope to meet you in real life very soon.

Your pen pal,

Milena

Dear Milena,

It is astonishing to me that you are a college senior. I also had class today and it was good. IYeah it’s been getting pretty crazy out there, so I’m trying to find a way to follow the news without feeling dizzy. I want to believe we can find a good truth to share with our readers, but whenever I open my phone, my window, or emy eyes, all I see is fear. There has to be a way to tell people what is going on without scaring them, but I’m at a loss. Also, I love Lethe Monde and Dan Rather. Can’t wait to see your face for the first time and hear if your voice is as gravelly and raspy as I hope.

New and Sincerely,

Dan
