Laura Torchia

I'm a Senior Photojournalism student at Kent State University. Currently I'm interning at the Akron Beacon Journal, as an independent photojournalist documenting a group of local military veterans. I will join men from this group who are combat veterans of the Vietnam war on a healing journey to Vietnam October 2010. My senior honors thesis will be a work in progress over my senior year, focusing on the role of the media and mass communication in times of war.
