My name is Lauren Libby and I am studying Political Science and Journalism at Stony Brook University.

I am interested in how new media has been able to connect people from all around the globe, creating communities that have worked to solve problems in innovative ways. I want to explore how different platforms have given people to spread their own ideas and the variety of methods they have used to do so. I would also like to explore how the variety of ways people spread their own ideas will play a role in the future of journalism.
