This multimedia series results from a partnership between LA Beez, an online collaboration of ethnic media organizations featuring hyperlocal news content covering the metropolitan Los Angeles area, and El Nuevo Sol, a bilingual (Spanish-English) multimedia website of the interdisciplinary program in Spanish-language journalism at California State University, Northridge (CSUN). Students in courses taught by journalism professors Jéssica Retis and José Luis Benavides worked with LA Beez editors Ronald Ellerbe and Julian Do on hyperlocal stories about Van Nuys, one of the most diverse and vibrant neighborhoods in Los Angeles’s San Fernando Valley, and about youth culture and the impact of the economic crisis on young people.
