Eye Level Pasadena

Water drops on my copy of the Pasadena Star-News

The morning was still cool.

I walked out in my bare feet, and pieces of pine needles stuck to them.

I’m a subscriber

I’m taking a couple of journalism classes at PCC because I think it will help me become a better blogger. One of the classes requires students to subscribe to a physical newspaper, so I chose the Pasadena Star-News. I read the Star-News (as well as Pasadena Now, of course) online already. I like to read my news online. Even more specifically, I like to read it in my RSS reader. But I also want to support local professional journalism. I’ve been thinking about this lately, and even after this class is over, I’m planning on keeping my subscription to the Star-News because I want to support local journalists. I wish there were subscription options for people like me who don’t want paper dropped off at their house every morning.

Pasadena Star-News offices

There’s a special section called To stop the killing over at the Pasadena Star-News website with links to stories about the recent gang violence in our community, video footage from the march earlier this month, and letters from residents about what should be done. The Star-News invites us to participate in the conversation:

“E-mail your hopes and fears — and your best suggestions…. Your comments will be posted on our Web site in the effort to bring peace and reconciliation to the community.” (link)
