Spring 2025 Online Elsewhere Report

Image
By Richard Cameron   Oh, my! What a spring term! It started with urban fires in Southern California, transitioned to the Donald Trump inauguration, and was followed by Trump Administration chaos (attack on immigrants, attack on DEI, introduction of DOGE, attack on law firms, attack on major universities, the abduction and deportation first of alleged terrorists and then on immigrants and possibly citizens, and the revocation of international student visas).

  Fall 2023 Online Elsewhere Report   Has California community college journalism returned to normal from the pandemic? Not quite. Instead, a new normal is setting in.  ·        In-person classes are back, but ·        Online courses are a permanent part of the new landscape. ·        Many publications have abandoned or severely cut back on print. ·        Online publications, which clearly draw more eyeballs that their print cousins (admittedly to a different demographic), are a major part of all but two programs across the state, though ·        Hanging on to a dream of print hinders program growth at many schools, and ·        While many programs are embracing online publication good practices, others still suffer from print mindsets, especially with posting patterns and story presentation. ·...
