First the bad news: Journalism 107 is not going to be offered this spring semester.

Classes offered this winter

As usual, the offerings for the winter intersession could be better. We have this one, which is the prereq for being on the newspaper staff in the spring. Short, intense classes are the only way to go for some people, but 8-noon every day is a killer if you have a job.

There aren't a lot of journalism classes being offered this fall, and the ones that are being offered meet at rather inconvenient times.

For instance, Magazine Writing [JOURN 107] has been moved to an inconvenient time slot -

MW 4:15 PM-5:47 PM
same place - SG140
same teacher - MOREAU, MICHAEL M.

If you want to be on the newspaper, El Vaquero [JOURN 103 and 104] it meets -

In other words, if you have a daytime job, forget it. 

Broadcast journalism and photojournalism have not been offered for a few years now.

 

Sign up early - it is the best way to ensure that the class will make it and that you will be a part of it.

Burning Down the House

This is a SoundSlides presentation that I made from a fire training exercise I photographed in La Canada. This was a very big deal - clearing the slum away to make room for what is being called the La Canada Flintridge Town Center. The property is owned by Sport Chalet and it was determined that the circumstances were such that a fire training exercise that included several stations could be done safely. Some of the new firefighters had never experienced a fully involved house fire. The oddest thing about this was that on a personal note, I lived in this house, briefly, as a house sitter.

Democratic Party Infographic

This infographic illustrates how close the California primary elections were in terms of selecting a presidential candidate for the Democratic Party. Young voters were evenly split between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. Who will win the youth vote in November, and more importantly - will it matter?

Letter from the Editor

  • Jul 6, 2008
  • Post a comment

Welcome to The Insider!

It might surprise readers to learn that this magazine has been 71 years in the making.
The student body of 1927 arrived on campus, a rented wing at Glendale Union High School, to find that the journalism department had already started a newspaper, The Galleon, to keep them apprised of all the goings-on at their school.

Over the years, the campus grew and so did The Galleon, until 1937 when students voted to rename the paper El Vaquero in keeping with the Spanish theme of the new buildings that comprised the site of the campus on the hill.

And so for seven decades, the college community could turn to its newspaper for news. El Vaq, now also available on the Web, has had a long and illustrious history and has won a great number of awards over the years.

But there was no magazine, save for the very fine literary journal the Eclipse.
The Insider was started in response to a specific need, one that could not be accommodated by El Vaquero. Some campus stories just require more: more time, more words, more research than the newspaper format allows.

The world of journalism has changed in ways that could never have been predicted back in 1927. But despite all the brouhaha over new media, we like to think that a good story, well told, is still the essence of journalism.

For several years, Journalism 107, Magazine Writing, has been a class offering of the Language Arts Department. And while many
students have gone on to have their work published, there has never been a campus showcase for their talent. Until now.

The premiere issue of this magazine is about the kind of people who make up Glendale and Glendale College. With spring semester drawing to a close, we at The Insider hope that a story or two within these pages provide a pleasurable way to start your summer reading.
