Courses launched in digital journalism

By Allison Browne City Times

Throughout the ‘50s and ‘60s, City College’s journalism program produced a yearbook by the name of “Legend.” Now, nearly 60 years later, the name is being revived as the title of City’s newest publication - a features magazine. The new magazine is a part of the recently redesigned journalism program.

“This is the first major change to the journalism program in at least five decades,” Associate Professor of Journalism and Media Roman Koenig said.

The new course offerings are designed to teach students the skills necessary to keep up with the constantly evolving and expanding digital media market.

“We want to introduce an entirely new program to replace the original.

We want to approach instruction in a way that allows for us to deal with all digital platforms holistically,” Koeing explained. “Journalism is not gone. It is just being offered in a different way.”

The program took nine years to be launched, with the initial research and planning beginning in 2004, and is the first of its kind within the San Diego Community College District.

The changes do not affect Miramar or Mesa’s course offerings.

Students looking to transfer or receive a degree will not be affected

and physical sciences programs and consist of new classrooms, labs and faculty offices and also have an outdoor teaching garden, a rooftop observation deck and planetarium.

“The Business Technology Building and Arts and Humanities Building project is on track to complete construction by the end of the year,” said Fine in an email interview.

Preparations will be made for the building’s summer 2014 opening.

The Arts and Humanities Building will include new classrooms, a lecture hall, computer labs and studio space for drawing, ceramics, sculpture, and graphics along with a 100-seat black box theater. The Business Technology Building will house business studies, the Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) program and business and computer systems as well as common areas and additional space for faculty and staff.

Construction on the “M” and “C” buildings are to start in the beginning of next year, during February

by the changes. Many of the new classes correspond with courses offered in the past, and the new offerings are articulated, meaning they fit into transfer plans.

The new magazine class, called Specialty Publications, is a handson production class with a printed publication once a semester and supplemental content online. Online content is not limited to written work and will include video and picture slide shows. Students will learn a longer, more in depth style of journalistic writing, along with studio photography and page design. While there are no prerequisites, it is recommended that students have a strong grasp of English and writing.

The radio and television department has also been updated to reflect the changing media market. It has been renamed the Radio, Television, and Film department and now also includes a collection of digital media production classes.

“We’ve basically taken multimedia and updated it. It sets up students to learn for web-based and broadcast journalism,” said Communications Department Chair Laura Castaneda. “It will be very confusing at first, but students will eventually benefit. This was three years’ worth of work, but it will be worth it if a student leaves knowing what they want to do, and they have the knowledge to succeed.” and May respectively. According to an official newsletter from the college, features of the “M” building will include a new student life center and homes for clubs as well as the dean of student affairs, while the “C”building will upgrade the school’s media and performing arts departments.

Fine says the designs for the “A,” “D,” and “T” buildings will remain in progress for the next 12 months.

Construction for these buildings should not be expected until the next couple of years.

More plans to expand the college remain and construction will continue well into 2018, so students should expect to be surrounded by heavy duty construction equipment for the time being.

The construction and renovations projects have occurred as part of the $1.555 billion Proposition S and N construction bond program.

A graduate of San Diego State University, Neault has served in several roles within the district including director and associate director of student services and coordinator of student services and administrative analyst in the office of institutional

research.

The district is the state’s second-largest community college district with 130,00 students enrolled at the City, Mesa and Miramar colleges as well as the six campuses of Continuing Education.

City College is the oldest institution in the SDCCD with more than 18,000 students enrolled each semester. It will celebrate its

100th anniversary in 2014.

“It is a privilege to have been selected for this important position,” said Neault. “I look forward to working closely with the amazing students, faculty, and staff at City College as the college celebrates its Centennial and builds for the future.”

SD’s eclectic fall concerts

By Chris Handloser City Times

on San Diego Bay hosts the weekend-long salsa explosion. Early bird tickets are on sale now.

Even though it likely reads “CLOSED” next to that last class you needed, the fall music scene in San Diego is wide open. From rap royalty in Chula Vista to baroque pop in North Park, the region is primed with variety and set to relieve your stress this semester.

To aid in your viewing pleasure, we compiled a quick pull of favorites across genres ---- most of them in close proximity ---- in the upcoming months. Enjoy!

Ra Ra Riot – Sept. 13 After transitioning away from baroque pop towards a more synth-pop style and with the departure of their cellist, Ra Ra Riot brings a strong catalog of tunes along with their 2013 release, “Beta Love.” The Birch North Park Theatre will provide an amazing acoustical and aesthetic environment for the mere 700 lucky concertgoers in attendance. Performing with Caveman. All ages.

America’s Most Wanted Festival featuring Lil Wayne and T.I. – Aug. 27 The apogee of Young Money Entertainment is at it again. With guarantees of pyrotechnics, 3D imagery, and even a live-action skatepark on stage behind him, Lil Wayne’s verbal ingenuity rounds off what will be a bombastic night at the Sleep Train Wireless Amphitheatre. Tickets start at $38.89 then move through lavish promotional packages. All ages.

Phoenix – Oct. 10 These intercontinental favorites are gusting on the winds of their new release “Bankrupt!” With headline spots at Austin City Limits the Sunday before and after, San Diego is lucky to land Phoenix for a Thursday night strut at UCSD’s RIMAC Arena. All ages.

Passion Pit – Oct. 22 Despite fighting off a host of personal demons, front man Michael Angelakos leads his power 7th Annual San Diego Salsa-Bachata Festival pop act back to San Diego. Sending his high Aug. 29 – Sept. 1 arching vocals into SDSU’s Open Air Theatre, While the rest of the country cools down, San with supporting act Joy Formidable, Angelakos Diego heats up for a Labor Day to remember. and company will practically dare you to stand Featuring the only 2013 West Coast perfor- still.

And while City College is after all located in downtown near a plethora of amazing eats (check out our review of Burger Lounge online), there’s just something about knowing you won’t have to shell out a few bucks to appease your rumbling tummy.

Enter this delicious

chicken salad. It’s fairly simple, I’d even bet you may already have most of the ingredients in your kitchen and if you don’t it’s still very affordable. It’s healthy, especially since it’s not drenched in mayo and if you utilize baked or boiled chicken like I do. And it keeps well in the fridge for a few days so you can get a few meals out of this. (It’s also an easy recipe to double.)

The best part about making chicken salad is you can top it and serve it any way you want. Toast some bread if you’re eating it at home and top with some sliced onion or crumble in some bacon and cheese. If you’re on the run, scoop some into a tortilla and eat it like a wrap. Either way, you’ve got a winner on your hands.

Chicken Salad

You will need: 2-3 chicken breasts, baked, grilled or boiled (You can also use leftover rotisserie chicken.)

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 tablespoons mayonnaise ¼ teaspoon of curry powder Salt and pepper to taste 1 apple, diced Juice of ½ a lemon 2-3 stalks of celery, leaves included, diced ½ small red onion, diced ¼ - ½ cup walnuts, chopped 1. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, slice it into bite-sized pieces. Toss the chicken with salt, pepper and curry powder, then toss with mustard and mayonnaise. Set aside.

2. Dice your apple and squeeze the lemon juice over it to keep it from discoloring and to add a little acid to the salad. Toss the apple with the diced celery, red onion and walnuts. Add this mixture to the chicken mixture and toss to combine. Taste and add more salt, pepper, mustard or mayonnaise as you see fit. It will keep well in the fridge for up to three or four days.

3. Assemble your sandwich with your favorite bread and a few slices of tomatoes or lettuce leaves or make a wrap like I did using one flour tortilla and romaine lettuce. Cheese or crumbled bacon also make amazing toppings. Pack your wrap or sandwich with some fruit and maybe some chips and you’re good to go.
