Alhambra Source is the only local news outlet dedicated to
covering the predominantly immigrant San Gabriel Valley city of 85,000.
The site launched in 2010, building on two years of research by
professors and students at USC Annenberg's School for Communication and
Journalism investigating how local news can increase civic engagement in
Alhambra and other diverse cities. Since then dozens of community
members — working with a professional journalist — have reported on
Alhambra. The site serves as a forum for local voices, and a platform
for the expression and development of writers, videographers, and
photographers.
