Eugene Scott

Eugene Scott is a journalist for the Washington Post. Eugene Scott mainly covers politics in his career in journalism. This is evident in his page in the Washington Post, where he writes headlines like "Biden vows to nominate Black woman to succeed Breyer on Supreme Court." A rhetorical strategy in this specific headline is capitalizing attention-getting words like "Biden," "Black," and "Breyer."

In the past, Eugene Scott has worked for CNN Politics. Something he did while at CNN politics was participate in a series called "When I realized I was black." As he talks about a political conversation he had with his friends at school when he was young, he says, "I have not been told the Jesse Jackson's race was the thing that made him the least qualified candidate." Here, he and others in the series use pathos to gain empathy from the audience of how it is to be black.
