Posted

The Chronicle is pleased to announce the addition of California Local News fellow Olivia Cruz Mayeda, who will cover East and South Asian communities on the newspaper’s Race & Equity Team.

Cruz Mayeda’s addition is made possible by a partnership with UC Berkeley’s California Local News Fellowship program, a state-funded initiative to support local journalism and improve coverage of underrepresented communities. Now in its second year, the program is supporting 75 early-career journalists for two-year terms at news outlets of varying sizes and different mediums in 35 counties.

Cruz Mayeda, previously an arts and culture reporter and video producer at KQED, wrote multiple freelance stories for the Chronicle and the San Francisco Standard last year.
