Helen Arase, Managing editor
I am now the managing editor (and multimedia reporter) of the Alhambra Source.
I’ve been working myself to death, but it’s a good experience to be alone and literally have to do everything yourself.
Of course I have support from the other two non-journalists on staff and the co-founders, but the gravity of my success/failure is the publication’s success/failure is a new one for me.
We also moved mid-pandemic. That was interesting.
I’ve managed to photograph a couple of things too:
Michoacana Pedir De Boca is an ice cream and paletas (popsicle) business that just opened:
The San Gabriel Mission caught fire in the early morning so I ran over in the afternoon:
ZinDrew Chili still needs to be published but they’re a husband-wife team making chili oil:
More stories and photos to come.
