Ayden Gordon, a senior at Hall High School taking the Contemporary Journalism class, is a fan of football, fishing, and FPSes. Sports, specifically American football, are a big part of his life. Graduating in 2026, Ayden took Journalism because he needed the credits, but once in it, he found the class interesting. “I like it. It’s unique. It’s different from any other class I’ve taken, so I’m enjoying it.”

Q: If you lost one news source, which would have the biggest impact?

A: ESPN. I’m really into sports. Not hearing what’s going on in the world about sports. I feel like it would affect me a lot. Again, I like sports. It’s what I want to do for a living.

Q: What are your other main sources of news?

A: Honestly, Instagram or TikTok. I’m not really into reading that much.

Q: What do you like to do and eat?

A: I like going to the gym, football, fishing, hanging out with friends, and eating steak.

Q: What do you plan to write about?

A: Take a guess. Football. When I’m sad, I play football. It makes me feel better.
