Hi all! Please welcome our new part-time reporter, Sarina Grossi. She’s a Cal Poly Journalism senior who got her radio news chops at KCPR, where she is also still a reporter. She is currently the digital manager of the Mustang Media Group and was the editor-in-chief of her community college newspaper. Sarina had her first story on KCBX today, and it sounded great! We’ve had some changes in the newsroom lately. Gabriela Fernandez is now the news director, Amanda Wernik is now a full-time reporter, and Kim Foster is coaching and assisting with news stories. We also still have our tried and true freelancer Beth Thornton in Santa Barbara. Melanie Senn did some excellent freelancing for us, but she’s going to take a break to help with her family’s business (she promised she’ll come back). In addition, we have regular interns and fabulous editorial support and training from the California Newsroom (a collaboration of NPR and KQED, along with public media around the state). Go team!
