Revision Piece

Throughout my undergraduate career, an overwhelming majority of my writing was for an academic audience. Rarely did I have the challenge of writing for a popular audience. When the Writing capstone class tasked me with revising a piece to fit a new genre, I knew right away what I wanted to do. This was the perfect opportunity to venture into a genre that had always fascinated me, yet I had no experience in: newspaper opinion articles. I selected a policy brief that I had written for an introductory writing class, and set out to erase that boring academic jargon, and replace it with some front page worthy content. Below is my article titled "Opinion: The Stealth Enemy in California’s Housing Crisis: Airbnb" followed by the original policy brief for context.
