TOPIC 2: THE INFORMATION YOU CONSUME

Paddy M - 4/5/25 I'd consider my three main sources of information to be TikTok, Twitter (or X), and the Wall Street Journal. I don't really consider TikTok or Twitter to be very reliable places for information, especially on current events, but I do believe the WSJ to be a pretty credible source.

TOPIC 1: ABOUT YOU

Paddy M - 4/5/25 Hi there, my name's Padraig Moohr, but I just go by Paddy. I'm a 19-year-old first-year student at Oregon State but dual-enrolled here at LBCC. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and am a business major. I'd like to take my major and hopefully work at Nike one day, more specifically, work for the marketing team for the basketball department. I'm very deep into sports. Basketball has been a huge passion of mine since I can remember, and my favorite team is the Lakers. On top of basketball, I'm a massive fan of the Dodgers, Lions, and follow the UFC pretty heavily. I'm most interested in learning about how the media works, and how it affects different people's lives every day!
