Save the Press-Telegram

Save the Press-Telegram We are the community that cares about the Long Beach Press-Telegram, our local newspaper, which has existed in one form or another for more than 100 years.

Current and former community members and others concerned about local news reported by local staff under fair working conditions at the daily Long Beach, CA, newspaper. Our newspaper has been here for more than a century covering Long Beach and its neighboring communities, getting to know this area and the people who live here. From the Port of Long Beach to the Terrace Theater, the Press-Telegram

knows what makes this area tick. The newspaper's photographers and reporters are regular fixtures at City Council meetings, run the sidelines at high school football games and angle for the perfect photos at the Grand Prix. Like most newspapers, however, the Press-Telegram has lost too many employees in the past few years. Those few who remain struggle to do more with less because they care about journalism and their community. But now our owners are proposing to move half the Press Telegram’s newsroom –- including our sports reporters, photographers and features department -- to another newspaper in Torrance, the Daily Breeze. The community likes and respects the community of Torrance and its paper of record. But we know that local journalism needs to be local. Torrance isn’t Long Beach, and it won’t be possible for reporters and photographers to cover our community fully from 15 or 20 miles down the road.

Before jumping into an argument, try this approach: #1: Instead of saying, “That’s not what I said,” ask, “What did you hear?” It shifts the focus to their interpretation. #2: Listen to their response and clarify gently: “I can see how it sounded that way. What I meant to say was…” #...

Stopping 86% of river plastic... with bubbles! In a Dutch bar, three friends had a eureka moment over beers. They learned that 11 million tons of plastic enter our oceans yearly, and 80% flows through rivers first. Then they noticed the bubbles in their drinks. 🍺💭 That’s how they invented Th...

Sitting in the psychologist’s office five years ago, Jullia Quazi wondered if she misheard her son’s test results.

She was told that 9-year-old Kairan was ready for college, that he was “an outlier among outliers.”

Jullia and her husband sat still, dumbfounded. Their son, who was in third grade at the time, had never been placed in accelerated classes or skipped a grade. They wondered how he was supposed to skip nine at once — and if he was truly ready to do so.

Kairan, on the other hand, was ecstatic. “I’m going to college! I’m going to college!” he screamed.

Kairan started community college two months later and earned an associate’s degree. Then he attended Santa Clara University in Silicon Valley, graduating on Saturday with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and engineering.

Now 14, Kairan’s next stop is SpaceX. https://wapo.st/44ddzAG
