Mercury Bowen, Entertainment Reporter

Hello, my name is Mercury Bowen. I am a senior journalism major with a double minor in photojournalism and sociology. As someone who speaks fluently in film and television quotes as well as song lyrics, I am very excited to be an entertainment reporter for The Daily Eastern News, and I look forward to covering the many aspects of entertainment that Eastern has to offer.
