About Paige Shiver

Paige Shiver is a freshman at the University of Michigan, where she is pursuing a major in Literature and a minor in Journalism. Recognized early for her sharp analytical mind and her instinctive feel for narrative, Paige brings a rare blend of academic rigor and creative energy to both her studies and her work as an emerging writer. She credits her love for storytelling to a childhood filled with books, spirited family debates, and teachers who encouraged her to look beyond the surface of every text.

At Michigan, Paige is deeply engaged in the university’s vibrant literary and media communities. She writes for student publications, contributes thought-driven essays to campus forums, and participates in workshops that explore the intersection of modern journalism, cultural criticism, and the evolving role of narrative in public life. Whether she is analyzing a 19th-century novel or reporting on contemporary issues, Paige approaches each project with curiosity, discipline, and a commitment to clarity.

Her academic focus lies in understanding how language shapes identity, memory, and social change. She is particularly interested in how storytelling functions across mediums — from print to digital to spoken word — and how journalism can both document and influence the world around it. Paige is known among peers and professors for her thoughtful questions, careful research, and strong sense of voice.

Beyond the classroom, Paige is building a portfolio of writing that reflects her diverse interests: literature, cultural commentary, media ethics, and the role of public storytelling in shaping modern discourse. She hopes to continue developing her craft through internships, editorial work, and collaborative writing projects.

Driven, reflective, and increasingly recognized as a rising talent, Paige Shiver is positioning herself for a career that bridges creative expression with journalistic integrity. She aims to contribute thoughtfully to the ongoing conversation about how stories are told — and who gets to tell them.

Mission Statement

The mission of Paige Shiver’s work, both as a Literature major and Journalism minor, is to explore how stories shape the way individuals understand themselves, their communities, and the broader world. She is committed to producing writing that is thoughtful, well-researched, and grounded in a belief that language can illuminate truth, foster empathy, and inspire meaningful dialogue.

Paige seeks to bridge the traditions of literary study with the immediacy of modern journalism. She believes these disciplines, though distinct, share a common purpose: to observe carefully, question deeply, and communicate with intention. Through her academic and creative pursuits, she aims to cultivate a practice rooted in clarity, integrity, and respect for the diverse experiences that define contemporary life.

Her mission centers on three core values:

1. Curiosity and Critical Inquiry
Paige approaches every text, topic, and perspective with the assumption that there is more beneath the surface. She is dedicated to asking thoughtful questions, seeking out credible sources, and engaging with ideas from multiple angles. This commitment helps her produce writing that is nuanced, intellectually honest, and grounded in analysis rather than assumption.

2. Ethical Storytelling
As a developing journalist, Paige believes writers bear a responsibility to portray people and events with fairness and sensitivity. Her mission emphasizes accuracy, context, and transparency. She strives to honor the trust of readers and subjects alike by presenting information in a way that is responsible, balanced, and free from sensationalism.

3. Amplifying Voices and Perspectives
Paige recognizes that literature and journalism alike are enriched by diversity. She is committed to highlighting a wide range of stories and viewpoints, particularly those that have been historically underrepresented. By doing so, she aims to contribute to a literary and journalistic landscape that is more inclusive, reflective, and equitable.

Ultimately, Paige’s mission is to grow as both a thinker and communicator, using her skills to create work that informs, challenges, and connects people. She hopes to build a career that provides readers with clarity in a world overflowing with information and offers insight at a time when thoughtful storytelling is more essential than ever.
