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/executive 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.

  1. Online tutoring is indeed a great option for those busy families who are looking for extra help for their children in school. The key is not only to shop around for tutors who are affordable, can speak native English, and are knowledgeable about their subjects, but have actual teaching experience. With this extensive classroom experience, a good tutor can understand right away the best approach to take when working with their students at a variety of levels.
    My online classroom, “Math Class with Terry V” offers a customized, targeted learning session for free, just to find out what is needed in the way of support and to consult with parents. Check it out for a first free session. Learning directed by an experienced math teacher online!
