PAUL NEWSPAPER COVERAGE OF THE 2017 MINNESOTA LYNX presented by Ryan Owens, a candidate for the degree of master of arts, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Associate Dean and Professor Lynda Kraxberger Associate Professor Mike McKean Assistant Professor Judd Slivka Professor Pamela Hinton DEDICATION I want to dedicate this thesis to my beautiful fiancée, Holly Sturek. Without your love and undying support, I wouldn’t have been able to make it through the long nights and countless hours spent working toward this life-changing goal. With your support, I feel like anything is possible. I love you with every fiber of my being. Thank you to my loving parents, Jim and Kim Owens, who have always encouraged me to reach for my dreams and to work tirelessly to make them possible. I will never be able to thank you enough for your emotional and financial support throughout my education. Without you, none of this is possible. I love you both. I want to thank God for giving me the strength and the patience needed to get through my lowest moments, and for the unending blessings he has bestowed on my life.
