Journalism – Archive of Sriya

I am a freelance opinion columnist for many national publications, including Teen Vogue, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the New Jersey Star Ledger, Dallas Morning News, PBS NewsHour, and more. My journalism is focused on providing a youth perspective on public policy, and I have covered affirmative action, food inequity, climate change, gun control, right to abortion, teen mental health, and more. My writing has been viewed by millions, and I was awarded the PBS Newshour 2023 Student Journalist of the Year in print.
