Dressing in style, and by the dress code, at the two Mission District high schools.
I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.
As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.
As founder and an editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.

Hi Aieyessilla, sorry to disappoint you! As you see, the story is more about fashion than faces, which is why I didn’t include the faces of all the students I photographed. Thanks for watching!
=[ weres my face?
We would so love to have included your face, but we did not have a release and we could not use the material without your permission. But we’ll do another story soon. Let us know if you have any ideas. Best, Lydia Chavez, ME
