Journalism equals creating an accurate record of history, as it’s happening.
And that’s exactly what soon-to-be-graduate Christine Michaels has been doing, during her time at Pasadena City College.
As Editor-in-Chief of PCC’s independent student newspaper, the PCC Courier, Christine and her staff have covered some landmark stories. Events at Pasadena City College, over the past two years, have included a major calendar change, questions of shared governance, the opening of the new Center for the Arts, major sports victories, scandals and, of course, the recent “disinvitation” of Academy-Award-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, as PCC’s 2014 commencement speaker.
Two days prior to the announcement that Black had been re-invited to speak, and had accepted the invitation, Christine talked about on-campus issues, her experiences with the Courier and her goals for the future.
