Alhambra Source recently launched Reporter Corps, a program that trains young adults in journalistic ethics and practice, multimedia storytelling skills, and how their local government works. I recently wrote an article for Online Journalism Review on how the program could be an example for how young people reporting on their own communities could transform local news, particularly in immigrant and underreported communities. Read the article How a Youth Reporter Corps Could Reinvigorate Local News, or scroll down for a glimpse into week two of Alhambra Source's Reporter Corps.

About the author: Daniela Gerson
Daniela Gerson is the editor of the Alhambra Source. After reporting for newspapers and public radio from New York City, Europe, and Latin America, she moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to do a master’s degree in immigration journalism at USC. Now she spends her days looking for stories in Alhambra. So far, she has not been disappointed. In the past year Daniela has tried to learn Chinese and practiced tai chi in Alhambra Park, taken pilates at JayVee and one salsa class (with the intention of taking more) at La Granada, and is very grateful for the amazing Alhambra Civic Center library and its lovely staff.
