From Academia to Social Media

1. I had a hard time finding the journal editor and author of the introduction, Ariel Levy, on any social media mostly because her social media presence was eclipsed by a rather attractive actress of the same name. I was able to a Wikipedia page, a LinkedIn, a Twitter, and a Facebook account.

2. Her Twitter account is mostly devoted to documenting various news events because she works for the Huffington Post, showing me that she is a current events-oriented person. Moreover, her Facebook is unavailable to anyone not friends with her, showing me that she has a rather private social life. Her LinkedIn documents various achievements in various news mediums including print, radio, and television.

3. The beautiful and romantic voice she employed in the introduction to the journal, "For me, reading the essays in this anthology was as satisfying and invigorating as glimpsing a school of dolphins rippling in and out of the water: a privilege (Levy xviii)", is juxtaposed by factual, unbiased format of her news background.
