I went to California State University of Northridge, receiving a bachelor’s degree in Journalism. My first editorial gig as a student would be as the co-editor of the arts section for the school newspaper, The Sundial. I remember my first pitches to the publisher and fellow co-editor when preparing our section for the semester, began with me showing up with a copy of the most recent LA Weekly, footnoted and scribbled all over, highlighting everything from the layout of the calendar section, to the story designs. LA Weekly was a playbook for all up-and-coming writers who hoped to write and report for an alternative media outlet.
