Jeremiah Dobruck, Neighbor

For 22 years the South Bay has been my home. I've grown up around the local news business and have been personally involved since I was 16. I studied journalism at El Camino College and edited its student newspaper and magazine. Now, I'm a senior at Cal State Fullerton, where I wrote for the Daily Titan and edited for TUSK Magazine. Additionally, I've worked on newspapers across the South Bay and Orange County, including internships at the Daily Breeze, the Costa Mesa Daily Pilot, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula News. My stake in journalism is telling your story. If I can connect one person's experience with a national issue or local concern, I've done my job. Don't be shy. I want to hear about you and what affects your life.
