Students weigh impact of national focus on campus activism surrounding Israel and Palestine
This November, a student involved with the University’s chapter of the Young Democratic Socialists of America woke up to an email from CNN. The email was from Rachel Bucchino, an associate editorial producer at the network, who works with Abby Philips, host of the popular show, NewsNight. In the email, Bucchino explains that CNN was looking to produce a segment that “includes two undergraduate college students — one who is pro-Palestine and one who is pro-Israel, to have a conversation about the war and what it’s like on college campuses right now.”
