This week, local reporter Shawn Gibson looks back at how covering various events in the city has shaped his viewpoint on a myriad of issues. And oftentimes that means being put in an uncomfortable position. 

"We’re all learning about a changing world together and the only way to do it is without allegiance to your political party making your decisions for you," Gibson says. "The 'far right' and 'far left' are becoming the most detrimental aspects of the healing conversation. I’ve learned that meeting in the middle, listening and discussing, is the only way to make change happen"

And if you missed it, here's what happened last week:

Local reporter Jessica Owen illustrates her foray into the world of Tinder, a dating app for singles... and perhaps married people, too! She's happily married and it was for a story, but it was quite the eye-opener. "I hesitated. I follow a page called Tinder Nightmares on Instagram and I know how cruel people can be on that platform," Owen writes. "I closed my eyes and pressed the download button." Find out what happened next.
