Kennedy For the Win

The Kennedy men’s Junior Varsity and Varsity took on a dual header against Iowa City High on Jan. 3, 2018. It was a close meet with a score of 92-76 with Kennedy taking home the win. The number of players were lacking on the opponents side, thus by having Kennedy race only against themselves for some events. Kennedy was behind in the first half, but made a surprising comeback. Kennedy Cougars were also honored for senior night, because it was Iowa City High's last home meet. The whole team was responsible for the victory against Iowa City High and will be having another meet in Dubuque on Jan. 5, 2018

Synthesis and Reflection

Media Law A new concept for me would be learning what libel and slander was. I always knew slander as "gossiping" and never imagined it as an actual thing people have to look out for. I have already noticed changes in what I'm hearing and figuring out what's slander and what's not. For example Dec. 4, 2018 a rumor went around the school that we were going to have to make a non snow day up. Well later I found out somebody had just made that up and was spreading fake news .

Unlike slander where you could say, "We have a full day of school on Friday," and many people would believe you. I now have to be cautious with th...
