Jake Kalina

I am Jake Kalina, a journalist with the Mayo Advocate. I am currently a senior here at Mayo High School, and participate in the Tennis Team and the Alpine Ski Team. I am originally from New York, but moved here when I was fairly young. My main interests and hobbies include travelling, photography, skiing, tennis, and mostly anything to do with being outdoors.

Journalism is important for many reasons; the most important one simply being the ability to announce information to the general public. This ability allows there to be a connection between the people and politics, world affairs, trends, and a wide variety of other things.

While enrolled in this Journalism class, I seek to become a better overall Journalist, but more specifically a better writer. There is much more to a picture than what one can see from just looking at it. I hope to be able to fill in the gaps of information that gets lost when there is not a strong caption to go with the picture.
