Miles de estudiantes y profesores se unieron en una sola voz en diferentes ciudades de California para protestar en contra de los recortes de presupuesto y el incremento de las colegiaturas. “Un día de Acción” fue el nombre que se le dio al movimiento de reivindicación del pasado 4 de Marzo donde estudiantes de diferentes niveles educativos, principalmente universidades públicas, marcharon y mostraron su angustia en contra de lo que ellos llaman “injusticia para la educación pública”.

The Japanese Garden in Van Nuys is not only a small oasis of peace and quiet in a busy city; it’s an ecological role model for how to integrate waste treatment and recreational facilities in an urban environment.

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.
