Hi, I’m Rachel. I’m 20 and currently a 3rd-year student, working towards my BA in Journalism, Media and Communication, and Politics and International Relations at the University of Strathclyde. I have been part of many SYFF projects over the years, starting back in 2021 with COPTV. From there, I have participated in the first year of FOP (Festival of Politics) and other SYFF events. I am excited to take part in this opportunity, as I am interested in Scottish politics and the effects that media consumption and preferences can have on political influence. With this opportunity, I hope to raise awareness of the impact social media can have on public perception and how easily misinformation can spread.
