I’m Adriene Hill, the managing editor here. Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekend, at a proper social distance.
We had another very busy week of news but our goals remained the same: stay calm, answer your questions and explain what’s happened and what’s likely coming next. Here are some of the top stories we’re covering as the COVID-19 pandemic reshapes life here in Southern California and beyond.
PBS SoCal Chief Creative Officer Juan Devis and I talk with:
- Aaron Mendelson about the new CA eviction moratorium
- Adolfo Guzman-Lopez about how community colleges and community college students are responding to the pandemic
- Ryan Fonseco about the “double whammy” to LA Metro
- And Sharon McNary about SoCal Edison power outages.
About this project: The KPCC + LAist newsroom is working together with PBS SoCal and KCET to get our reporting out to a wide audience.
