Lauren Thompson is a staff writer and research analyst for the Media Research Center’s Culture and Media Institute. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Communications and Journalism from Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.

Lauren gained extensive journalism experience as the press intern for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in Houston, Texas and as the associate editor of Texas A&M College of Agriculture’s magazine the AgriLeader.
