Sam Chin is a Student Life Editor for ‘The Observatory’ yearbook. Sam believes that journalism holds value because it introduces a wide variety of opinions and appeals to readers on multiple levels, covering worldwide news as well as smaller stories that play to human interest. Similarly, photography is unique, creative, and encompasses a large spectrum, allowing the photographer to experiment and direct the perspective of a story. Photojournalists focus on upholding the integrity of an event while deciding how to frame and craft a story, a practice that aims to enhance a journalistic piece. Outside of school, Sam’s hobbies include reading, listening to music, and baking. Though unsure of a future career path, Sam hopes to help others and incorporate creativity into that field of choice.
