Olivia Reyes Garcia, former BC workshop student and now editor of El Californiano, The Californian’s bilingual weekly newspaper, explains to students how her experience in the BC Summer Multicultural Journalism Workshop helped her decide upon newspapers as a career.
After completing the BC workshop, Garcia attended Bakersfield College and was editor of The Renegade Rip, the BC student paper, and then transferred to Fresno State to complete her education. She told students that internships play a key role in landing newspaper jobs.
