THE WRAP

Today’s issue was written by Iván.

Editor’s pick: I used to scour the internet for “What Would You Do” episodes in the early days of YouTube. Picture: 11-year-old Iván on his first generation iPod Touch bingeing as much content as he could find.

It is kind of a funny, full-circle moment for me to have also wound up with a career in journalism after graduating from the same university as John Quiñones.
