Isla MacKarell, Staff Reporter
Isla MacKarell is a Copy Chief for ‘The Science Survey.’ She is drawn to journalism for it allows her to always dig for something deeper. Journalism creates an interesting and inspiring atmosphere for writers and readers alike to learn something new or surprising in an attractive way. Especially in the twenty-first century, journalism has taken on a new, stratified definition that doesn’t only include straight reporting, but explores other thought-provoking ways to convey a non-fiction topic or idea through detailed and creative use of language. Isla is also fascinated by the many types of journalism, especially how any topic that interests a writer can be materialized and published in order to spark possible new and exciting interest in a reader. When Isla is not spending her time writing for the ‘The Science Survey,’ deepening her photojournalism knowledge and skill, or participating in Bronx Science’s Mock Trial Team, she finds joy looking for adventures around New York City with her friends. Isla loves exploring and discovering new and captivating things about the city she grew up in. Although she has almost no idea on what her plans are for college and beyond, Isla knows that after her senior year at Bronx Science, she is curious about pursuing study in a literacy field.
