Income inequality can seem like a daunting and overwhelming topic, but it is something that is affecting America today. CNNMoney senior writer Tami Luhby traveled all the way from New York to Texarkana to give a talk about income inequality on Tuesday November 3, 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs. Luhby was kind enough to stop by my Advanced News Writing Class to talk with us about what it\u2019s like to be a journalist. She talked to our class about what it takes to write for CNNMoney. She also gave us an understanding of how CNNMoney runs their website and how they track what stories are doing well. I gained a lot of insight about the dedication it takes to be a full-time journalist. I really enjoyed everything she had\u00a0to say to our class and learned some valuable information that could come in handy in the future if I decide to pursue journalism as a career.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next up for Mrs. Luhby was a lunch where anyone could come eat and talk with her and ask different questions. The lunch proved to be a success, with many professors getting the chance to talk with Mrs. Luhby. Students were encouraged to stop by and meet the guest speaker before the big lecture event held later that night.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main event that Tami Luhby participated in was her lecture on income inequality. PLACE, the Program for Learning and Community Engagement, put on the event. PLACE is a program at Texas A&M University-Texarkana that helps promote learning in the community. This year\u2019s theme is economic opportunity. Tami Luhby\u2019s talk about income inequality fit nicely into this year\u2019s theme. It gave the community a look at how income inequality is impacting America.<\/span><\/p>\n

I found her speech on income inequality very eye-opening. I didn\u2019t know that the United States was one of the leaders in income inequality between the top 1% and the other 99%. The information Mrs. Luhby presented provided an in-depth look at how income inequality is affecting the poverty line and the standard of living. I also found her lecture to be very interesting when she was talking about the housing market crash and how it led into the recession of 2005. This talk was very informative and conducted in such a way that was easy to understand and relate to.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
