Jokes aside, this isn’t just a NYT issue — tons (most?) of the coverage about young people and coronavirus are about upper-middle-class college students returning home to their parents. It would be great to hear a broader range of stories about college students + young adults.
If you’ve seen great coverage of 20-somethings, send it my way! I know that some of my peers are doing incredible things to support their family, or serve in healthcare, or create movements online — I’d love to read their stories.
I’m happy to have some good examples for this thread! @Rainesford has a good look at young people who are finding unconventional ways to serve during their not-normal summer https://twitter.com/rainesford/status/1262721225077542913?s=21">https://twitter.com/rainesfor... https://twitter.com/rainesford/status/1262721225077542913">https://twitter.com/rainesfor...
And @nicole_hong has an incredible story about one Columbia senior with an unconventional job the last few weeks. https://twitter.com/nicole_hong/status/1262733699298332672">https://twitter.com/nicole_ho...
