Digital Storytelling in L.A. County's Diverse Communities March 28, 2011

The Alhambra Source was launched recently as a hybrid model of professional community journalism. It is a USC Annenberg joint communication and journalism research initiative and the intention is to provide coverage to a community that has a shortage of local news coverage, has low civic engagement levels, and is very diverse linguistically and ethnically.

Our speaker, Daniela Gerson, is editor of the Source and previously an immigration reporter for the New York Sun and contributor to Financial Times Magazine, New York Times, and New York Public Radio. She will talk about making the transition to online media, working with community members as an outsider, and how organizations can also tell their own stories and make sure they're heard.
