Jamie Gholson/Fourth Estate
Embracing new beginnings in the Spring 2025 semester
BY JAMIE GHOLSON, CULTURE EDITOR
Hello everyone,
My name is Jamie Gholson. I am excited to announce that I am Fourth Estate’s new culture editor for the Spring 2025 semester! I was born and raised in the DMV area and have lived near Mason all my life.
I am pursuing a Communication degree with a concentration in Journalism, in hopes of becoming a medical writer. My passion for writing in the medical field stems from my grandma, a nurse who would often tell me stories of her patients.
When I transferred to Mason in my junior year, I learned about Fourth Estate in my Introduction to Journalism class. I thought now would be a great time to start establishing myself as a medical writer.
Publishing articles about topics you are passionate about allows you the opportunity to branch out into many different fields.
With Fourth Estate, I’ve been able to publish the inspiring stories of women in STEM, 3D printing medical prosthetics, Theta Tau, and the parking crisis at Mason.
The culture section is a place to share your exciting experiences at an event or museum, meaningful connections made in campus clubs, or the hidden gems you’ve discovered in the DMV area. There is no limit to what you cannot write about! If you have any ideas that you would love to write about and make those dreams a reality, this is the place to do it!
Students interested in joining the Fourth Estate should email eic@gmufourthestate.com. For students interested in publishing for the culture section, please send me an email below.
Sincerely,
Jamie Gholson
