Issue #10: December
Welcome to Issue #10, our final issue of 2024. Here, you’ll find pieces about the holiday season that we find ourselves in. You’ll find testimony about the beauty of the Bronx, and investigative reporting that delves deeply into the question of where our food comes from, and how much we really know about what we consume. There are thoughts on relationships, technology, sports, and more. It’s our gift to you: a collection of students asking questions, seeking answers, and raising opinions.
