Writing Situation: The Local is an award-winning independent magazine known for being "unabashedly Toronto, reporting from corners of the city that are too often ignored or misunderstood." The Local has made a splash on the news media scene with special deep dives into current topics, often from untold or unheard perspectives, such as The Indigenous Toronto Issue and The Rent Series. The Local's next issue will focus on the life of college students in Toronto, so they have invited students enrolled in a Toronto college to submit a profile feature of someone in their community. This person can be a friend, family member, employer, industry leader, or colleague who has direct lived experience with a problem that is impacting the lives of college students. Lived experience is a type of expertise, history, and teaching about the world that one acquires through first-hand involvement. People's lived experiences are an important source of information because they help us learn about the impact of social, political, and economic issues on people's day-to-day lives. This is a unique and invaluable form of expertise. Your goal is to inform readers of this individual's unique insight and expertise on the problem so that readers walk away with a more nuanced understanding of the topic. Through this profile feature, make the point that this problem is pressing and matters to the community. For instance, you might delve into how the larger problem has significantly impacted your interviewee's life and perspective. The topic does not necessarily have to be school-related. Instructions: Interview an individual in your community (e.g., a friend, family member, employer, industry leader, mentor, or colleague) who has direct lived experience with your chosen topic. Write a 750 to 1000-word profile feature on them. In your profile, inform readers of this individual's unique insight and expertise on the problem, and make the point that the problem is pressing and matters to the community. In addition to your interviewee's lived experience, find and incorporate at least 2 additional sources into your profile feature. Apply what we learned in class about the conventions of a profile feature
