I wrote an article on three women in my home community who despite having to learn to survive a pandemic, also had to learn how to be moms. And it was published this weekend on @ReadPaperPlane !

Nowadays, journalists in the making don't only have to worry about whether they use the Oxford comma. Their social media accounts are also under the microscope. Daysha Loppie spoke to some journalists to find out how they're handling this shift.

Although 2020 has been a pretty rotten year, I'm continually heartened by the work young journalists are doing to blaze new trails in our industry. That's why I've subscribed to @ThePigeon & @ReadPaperPlane. Excellent work & looking forward to powerful storytelling in 2021! 🌟🍾

Are you a non-student subscriber of @ReadPaperPlane? I would love to chat with you about it for a story I am working on. DMs open.

This weekend's Paper Plane came from first year Carleton student Xenia (ZEN-yuh) Kylie (KY-lee) Tejada-Hayes (teh-JAW-duh HAZE) who writes about her name's history and its correct pronunciation. https://t.co/KBZJFt2WD4

Check out my article for ReadPaperPlane about triggering experiences and mental health! I was flattered to be featured alongside such incredible journalism by my peers, and to work alongside such an incredible editor.

[Paper Plane @ReadPaperPlane]

Last weekend's Paper Plane was a creative non-fiction long read that's very unlike anything we've published yet.

It's a story about healing from trauma, written by @JSchool_CU student @TheYavril, and it is really, really worth your time.

This weekend’s story was an emotional one. @StumillerDavis wrote about how hockey got him through his cancer treatments as a kid. https://t.co/bP3LYjbz0T

[Paper Plane @ReadPaperPlane]

It’s also a story about how he came to journalism: “I wanted to provide the same escape for another kid like me. Cancer may have kept me away from the rink, but it could never really keep me away.”
