News from the Citrus College Journalism program!

The spring 2021 edition of Logos Magazine is now available online. This issue features a wide variety of stories about "emerging from the darkness" (e.g., COVID-19). The stories are also available on the Logos Magazine website.

This semester, staff from the Citrus College Clarion newspaper — in particular, Logos student editor Vidal Espina — stepped up to put the magazine together. Way to go!

Several journalism alumni are up to great things.

  • Ada Guerin, Clarion editor-in-chief (1999), is the creative director at Los Angeles Magazine. Two former Clarion student journalists also work with Ada at the magazine.

    • Natalie Malins, who was with the Clarion in fall 2018 before transferring to California State University, Long Beach, and
    • Evan Solano, a former editor of both the Clarion and Logos, are both contributing. Evan also had some of his artwork recently featured on the front page of the Los Angeles Times.

  • Alumna Stephanie Mejia, Clarion web editor (2017), earned a prestigious internship with the Television Academy Foundation. There, she will work as a diversity and inclusion casting intern, pushing for better representation of Mexican Americans in television.

  • Alumnus Joseph Siyam, Clarion editor-in-chief (1998), was recently named the vice president of talent and entertainment partnerships at talkshoplive, a live social shopping network startup that has worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment. Joe previously worked as a supervising producer for Entertainment Tonight, where he won multiple Emmy Awards.

Not to be outdone, two current Citrus College students received scholarships from the Journalism Association of Community Colleges last week. Alana Daly O'Brien, Clarion editor-in-chief this past spring, and Lucy Argaez, incoming Clarion editor-in-chief for the fall, earned $100 scholarships from the JACC for their commitment to journalism and for the quality of their work.

Congratulations to everyone!
