James Bell

James BellJames says that in a strong democracy, its citizens must be committed to seeking information and knowledge. He explains that our elected officials should be our voice in government. They should act as we would have them act, in deed, word and spirit. If they fail to do this, citizens must find new and better representatives and make sure the new ones are elected.

James is working towards an M.S. in Communication studies with an emphasis in political journalism. He will continue working in both journalism and politics after graduation. He served as assistant editor of The Edge and currently as news editor for The University Leader. James thinks it is a citizen duty to make one's own voice heard.
