Hi, my name is Audrey Adam and I am a graduate student in journalism at Northeastern University.
I was born in Colmar, France, and I spend most of my life there. My culture is very important to me even though I love living in Boston. I did my undergrad at the University of Strasbourg, France. I majored in English and Spanish and minored in Portuguese and German. In France, journalism degrees are only at a graduate level, so I thought languages were a good asset to pursue my journalism career.
Before coming to Boston for my graduate degree, I did a year of master's in website creation and translation and another year at the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, Mass., as a French teaching assistant.
At Northeastern, I mainly focused on video and investigative journalism and I am glad to be able to live the radio experience at The World.

For some residents of the Netherlands it will soon be money for nothing. Utrecht in the Netherlands just announced it would be experimenting with "basic income."

Economist Evelyn Forget studied a similar experiment in Manitoba in the 1970s.
