Andrew and Chad

I recently started watching World of Jenks, a new show on MTV. I think it’s a great form of journalism. I wish there were more shows like this one, aimed at a younger audience and exposing subjects that are not easy to talk about, a diverse group of people from different backgrounds and the human side of their experiences.

Just how we’ve talked in class about people from different colors of skin, religions and cultures, there are also people with a variety of conditions.

Can’t Make Me Be is the name of the episode I want to share with you. The episode is about 20-year-old Chad, who lives with autism.

Andrew, the host of the show, stayed at Chad’s house for a week to experience what’s it’s really like to have autism. In the episode you can also see a side of Chad that every 20-year-old shares.

I think this is definitely one of the most compelling episodes and a great piece of journalism.
