When was the last time you read a company’s privacy policy before checking the “I agree” box and signing up for its online service?

You wouldn’t be the first to skip right past it, or the last. Only 13 percent of people say they always read the terms of service before agreeing to them, according to an Axios-SurveyMonkey poll. But blindly agreeing to social media’s policies may have you forfeiting more than your right for a company to sell your data.

By Dalvin Aboagye After taking JRN 393 with Professor Terry Sheridan last spring, I made a promise to myself to explore radio and audio journalism in a deeper capacity than I had before.

By Megan Valle  Before interning at WSHU this semester, I had taken only one class in audio journalism, and I didn’t think it was my strong suit. Nevertheless, I was interested in audio and I enjoyed writing for it, so I decided to apply for the WSHU internship. Now, after four months of writing scripts

By Wilko Martínez-Cachero Vas Interning at WSHU Public Radio during my fall semester was a demanding but equally gratifying experience.  I had taken JRN 393 the semester prior to starting at WSHU, but that only taught me the basics about audio journalism.

By Charles Scott This summer, I wrote for the Smithtown News.

I took on almost a dozen stories,

By Felicia LaLomia Last December, when I wrote emails to about 20 different food and drink-focused publications asking for internships, I had no idea what would come of it.

By Margaret Osborne The WSHU internship was a great introduction to the world of radio.
