Article 7: The Connector
“One Students Opinion on the Oscars”
This article was interesting to read because it is a college paper but discusses a current event outside the school. I felt it was important to note this article to detail that a school newspaper doesn’t only have to outline what is occurring on campus. In the wake of the Will Smith / Chris Rock slapping incident at the Oscars, one student wrote about discussing their opinion of how it all went down. The incident took the internet by storm, with many coming to the defense of Chris Rock and some feeling sympathy for Will Smith and his relationship with his wife. This student stood up for Chris Rock, noting his professionalism and class by not retaliating. The author seemed to be displeased with Will Smith’s action, and mentioned they felt he would continue to receive backlash in the media
