How De Los plans to build community
LA TimesWhen do you most feel seen, heard or included? It’s a belief that has guided much of my work — from the days when I blogged about Mis Neighbors, from the time I spent helping lead the bilingual community news project Boyle Heights Beat and from when I established the South L.A. community desk at the USC Annenberg Media Center. “We’re taking that relationship further — not only telling stories about our community or for our community but with our community.” Establish collaborative partnerships Effective community engagement is collaborative, and as part of this approach, we are building relationships and establishing partnerships. Meet the De Los staff De Los has assembled a team of Latino reporters, editors, illustrators and creatives to tell stories not just about our community, but for our community. Thanks to that and our community connections, we’ve already built a contributor base of writers, illustrators and content creators that will help tell the story of Latinidad.
