POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Just one of so many episodes that put a light on places we hear less and less from. Listening to people like Ashraf, a farmer who lost so much in Gaza. People at the center of stories that connect us all. My heart breaks for those who lost their job. It was such an honor to collaborate with so many incredible journalists @washingtonpost throughout the U.S. and the world. by @monicampbell

What a honor to speak to the @umwallacehouse about @calocalnewsfellows as a model for strengthening local journalism throughout the country. Thank you Lynette Clemetson! So many excellent questions and fuel and energy for the future of journalism. by @monicampbell

UC Berkeley Journalism has just announced the selection of journalist Monica Campbell as the new permanent director of its state-funded @calocalnewsfellows — the largest publicly funded journalism initiative in the country — following a national search.

Campbell has more than two decades of experience as a reporter and editor, covering local, national and international news. In February, she was hired to coordinate the fellowship program’s 70 newsrooms. In June, she became interim director of the program. Prior to joining the fellowship’s team, she was an editor of @washingtonpost’s audio team and, from 2012 to 2022, she was based in California and Mexico City as a senior editor and reporter for the award-winning “The World,” public radio’s longest-running daily global news program.

Christa Scharfenberg launched the fellowship in 2022 and led the program through its success and expansion — including the California legislature’s recent decision to allocate another $15 million to extend the program for two more years, through 2028 — stepped down from her post this summer, but will continue to serve as an advisor through the end of 2025.

UC Berkeley Dean Michael D. Bolden said Campbell’s commitment to local news and California make her the right journalist to lead the program into the future.

Campbell, who grew up in San Jose, California, and is a longtime member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, says she is gratified to work with a dedicated team, newsrooms throughout the state providing critical information to their communities, and a growing network of early-career journalists committed to local news.

“The fellowship program has already proven to be a pioneering model,” Campbell said. “We see other states taking notice. Every state should fund fellowships like ours to ensure communities are getting the information they need.”

Ya estamos en #oaxaca again, this time Gabriel is seven (he looks giant in this photo because I’m kneeling down but I’m pretty sure he’ll pass up my petite self soon enough lol).
We’re at the Instituto de Artes Gráficas de Oaxaca, a cultural space founded by #franciscotoledo. A must-see. Always a good exhibition going on and just beautiful architecture, filled with crawling, gorgeous plants…. taken in Instituto de Artes Gráficas de Oaxaca (IAGO) by @monicampbell

Special visit to Laguna San Nicolás, in the state of Mexico/Edomex. Long, dirt road to get there and worth it. Canoeing around felt like what Xochimilco might’ve been like long ago. Mil 🙏🏼 #mexico #vacaciones #naturaleza #picnics by @monicampbell

Seems so necessary, but it was the first time I'd been on a panel about reporting on undocumented communities with a psychologist who works with undocumented folks. Such an invaluable addition to the conversation! Thank you Dr. Bianca Barrios and @daffodil_altan for organizing! cc: @andresacediel @faridajhabvala @berkeleyjournalism taken in UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism by @monicampbell
