Issue Number 2 Begins!
Staff of 826LA's Good Times.
Another session of the 826LA journalism workshop began on Monday. Our staff of diligent young writers put the inaugural edition of the Good Times: Food Edition to bed and immediately began working on the second issue.
But how can you top writing about food? Who doesn’t like food!?
So we looked a bit closer to home this time, and editors and staff of the Good Times decided to focus the next edition on home: Echo Park, that is. We’re covering the people and places of EP and surrounding areas, the history, the tidbits of our own backyard.
Here’s what our staff writers have selected for their topics:
> Alex and Alanis are going to team up to look into the history of Dodger Stadium and the Dodgers.
> Oscar wants to interview police officer(s) from the neighborhood and ask questions like “What do they mostly do?” “Where do they hang out?” “Why they like being police?” “And where do they eat?”
> Lauren says, “I am writing about the Victorian Houses of Angeleno Heights because they are exquisite and unique, and I have always wondered what was in them. For this story I will talk to people who live in them, an architect, and jealous people like maybe the neighbors. I will find out how long they’ve lived there, how long it takes to built a house like that, and how big is the back yard.”
