My Friday Five: On UNC’s Park Lecture, #Pack9 & Krispy Kreme
1. Park Lecture at UNC
I had the opportunity to attend the UNC School of Media and Journalism’s 20th annual Park Lecture on Thursday. If you click on the link I’ve provided, you’ll notice who the keynote speaker was: Tucker Carlson.

The latest tragic shooting took place at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, where 17 people lost their lives.

My Friday Five: On SOTU, Wassabi Productions & A Best Picture Challenge Update
1. SOTU
President Trump held his first State of the Union address on Tuesday. I didn't watch it.
