Dear Ms. Hodges,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history, social justice, and current events. In these subjects, I like to learn the need for Civil Rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have social justice to help improve the communities, and many others. Ms. Hordges, the main reason why I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as a news reporter/anchor of Local 12 WKRC-TV to be very inspiring to me. 

In your current role as a news reporter/anchor of Local 12 WKRC-TV, o, I like on how you are a strong supporter of civil rights causes by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights and expressing the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination in order to protect minorities including people who are different.  Also I like on how you are a strong supporter of campaign to combat against bullying.  Your approach in the news media like interviewing people about different topics ranging from local politics through other topics, doing hands-on approach with other people in businesses or when they are demonstrating a product to help viewers understand them, and taking the time to listen to citizens of America including citizens of the Ohio a area when they have concerns are great ways for journalism. Another thing that I like about your work as a news reporter/anchor of the Local 12 WKRC-TV is how you give tips on healthy lifestyles, reporting on public officials who are corrupt, asking public officials that hard question to hold them accountable,  exploring different topics related to medical research to combat against different diseases, highlighting different ideas to improve communities or society, support emphasizing the need for environmental protection to reduce pollution, and many others. Also another thing to mention is I like on how you heavily advocate for the need for auditing of government agencies including non-profit organizations  to make sure that money isn’t being abused or wasted when they are needed to improve services, heavily emphasize the need for better mental health services to help people who struggle with a mental health or have the illnesses, express the need to have criminal justice reform including combat against racial injustice, and support educational awareness about minorities communities. On Local 12 WKRC-TV,  I  like on how you talk about minorities communities, do educational awareness about different issues that affect society, and work on doing investigation reporting with other Local 12 WKRC-TV news team  to help address the problems that society faces or when services aren’t helping people.   Besides your work as a news reporter, I like on how you are a strong supporter of civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes to reduce discrimination along with social justice causes to improve communities.

Ms. Hodges, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts in different settings (social and environmental), and get teased. Also with my disability I have face some challenges on understanding social cues and dealing with social anxiety. Your advocacy along with support for civil rights including people with disabilities’ right causes really inspire me to work hard on my disability. On Youtube, your page, and on the Local 12 WKRC-TV website I enjoy learning about your work including some current events. Your role as a news reporter/ anchor of Local 12 WKRC-TV helps give me motivation to continue to learn history, social justice, and current events. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, expand on social justice to improve communities, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in society and the news media.  You really inspire me to work hard on my disability, use critical thinking to understand things, continue to learn history, social justice, and current events. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference for society, and inspiring me. Please continue to make a great difference for society and the news media.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
