    • Careers

While writing for her high school newspaper, The Goods by Vox reporter Rebecca Jennings fell in love with journalism, specifically about culture, an interest she has carried on in her college days at NYU and her current role as a columnist for the "This Week in TikTok" roundup. She shares some of her tips and tricks, such as being on TikTok and Twitter for hours every day so she can get the latest scoop, but also encourages student journalists to move beyond merely covering news; instead, they should bring in outside sources to do a thoughtful analysis of what's happening in our world today.
