I'm a sucker for a good click bait headline. I was reading about the lastest loss by a Jeopardy champion. Next thing I know. I'm reading about a high school newspaper that wants to do an article on a student that has resorted to doing porn to pay her bills.
It's an intriguing article that brings up a lot of questions. It will be interesting to reinterview this girl 10 years from now.
So is this girl a feminist's dream or is she being exploited? Is this the sort of article that needs to be published in a HS newspaper?
ANyway I'd be interested in hearing the take on others that took the time to read the article.

Caitlin—who later told media outlets that she is “estranged” from her family—moved out on New Year’s Eve and is now paying $300 a month in room and board to live at a friend’s house. It’s not clear whether she began doing porn before or after this event, but it’s clear that the work—in addition to a dishwashing job—helps her pay for the room and other expenses.
Bailey, who is 17 years old, has long wavy hair, glasses, a heavy course load, and a raft of positions at the school newspaper, where she is the managing editor and news editor
Recently, Caitlin has been in a predicament that sparked Bailey’s attention and also her sympathy. In need of money, Caitlin began working in pornography, which has solved her short-term financial problems, but which has also led to people “saying things” about her at school. It occurred to the staff of the Bruin Voice that a story that treated Caitlin like any other inspirational student—one who had faced and overcome obstacles—a piece that allowed her to tell her side of the story, would be helpful to Caitlin and good for the paper.
Because Bailey had a class with Caitlin, she seemed the obvious choice to write it. She pitched the idea to the school newspaper’s faculty adviser, Katherine Duffel, who approved it, and soon the girl was working on a 1,000-word article about Caitlin. However, things quickly went sideways.
