The tours were assigned on a lottery system; students were able to sign up for their top three tours.
Schlote was selected to attend a tour of Democracy now, an independent daily news outlet.
“One thing I valued about them is that they are able to report on what they want. They don’t have to be afraid of the government or of upsetting any sponsors that they have.” Schlote said.
Schlote was not the only student who was able to attend a tour of a media outlet. Media Business Student, Ryan Williams was also selected to tour a media outlet.
“I was selected to tour Buzzfeed! I got to tour the office and visit all the different sectors. It was an amazing experience," William’s Said.
