Iris Chung ’26 is starting her first year writing for The Spectrum. However, this is not her first time experience in journalism as she did a Harvard-Westlake newspaper program in the summer of her first year at the school in 7th grade. She then continued to learn about journalism through the Media for the Modern Age class in 8th grade. While on The Spectrum Iris hopes to write opinion stories because it gives her an opportunity to speak out about what she believes.

“Journalism is a really powerful way to impact people and society.”
