About the Contributors
Julia Kennedy, Year 2
Julia Kennedy is a second-year journalism student at North Pocono. She joined the class for the writing, but quickly became enthusiastic about the film aspect as well. She enjoys every part of the class, but is especially interested in interviewing others and forming better relationships through her efforts. Along with that, she isn't one to shy away from making fun of herself on camera- so long as the same won’t happen in person. She is proud of her more recent contributions to Trojan TV, and how she’s opened up to new opportunities presented to her.
Though she considers herself a quiet person, Julia is always open to conversation and learning more about those around her and the stories they have to share.
Mia Summa, Year 2
Mia Summa is a junior and second year Journalism student. Summa joined the class for the interest of doing the Friday morning show called Trojan Television. With her love for sports and talking to people, Summa felt this class was the best option. Mia was never a great writer until she took the class and got so much better. She enjoys being in the class but a special thing is of the friendships she's made. Summa seems to have an even bigger voice than before, and more confidence about herself. By far she loves making Trojan Television but overall Mia loves writing a good article. As Summa has a crazy junior year, she plans to major in Special Education and a minor in communications.
Ethan Schield, Year 1
Ethan Schield is a senior journalism student. He also has a YouTube channel, FIreLynx, showcasing his works. His channel features both filming and editing videos along with some broadcasting content.
Ethan’s love for motorsports, railroading, and commentating has pushed him to be his very best. He works hard to one day pursue a career in broadcasting motor racing, such as NASCAR and IndyCar, and he would like to attend college for sports/broadcast journalism to achieve said dream.
Schield has amassed over five-thousand subscribers on YouTube, with nearly two-million lifetime views. He spends hours each day perfecting his stop-motion NASCAR races by filming each race, editing graphics, and adding voiceover to make each race seem like a real broadcast. His train related videos require near perfection, as he only gets one chance to get each shot right. These videos have, at times, surpassed fifty-thousand views.
On top of YouTube, Schield is also a long-distance track athlete for the North Pocono Trojans. He has been a part of both the cross country and track teams since his first year of eligibility in seventh grade. Ethan specializes in the 1,600 and 800 meter events.
Vivian Santiago, Year 1
Vivian Santiago is a student working in Journalism class. With an affinity for English and writing overall, she is hoping to grow and expand her ability to write clearly and efficiently. Her interest in the arts don’t end here, having taken vocal practice and performing roles since she was eight. Literary and oral clarity is a huge part of her personal philosophy for writing. She believes local and country-wide information should be brought to the average person’s attention more easily and efficiently, in terms anyone could understand while still remaining an intellectually stimulating artform. In a world of internal bias and rumor culture, Vivian believes that by being unapologetically authentic and genuine in her news articles will slowly help repair the reputation of the national journalism world stage.
