Call It What You Will Salinas

This episode, Dom sits down with Marcos Cabrera from the Monterey County Youth Media Project.  This was a 2 week course that local students could participate in to learn from industry professionals on how to become better journalists.  This free program for high school and college students brought in veteran journalists that were able to work with students on taking their journalism skills to a higher level.  This program was modeled on the Mosaic High School Journalism Workshop that was founded by San Jose Mercury reporter, Joe Rodriguez, in 1993.  One of the first graduates was Marcos Cabrera and now he and others are sharing what they know with young journalists from our community.  This episode takes us not only into the program the participated in, but also the work Marcos has done as a reporter and as an active member of the local arts, such as Baktun 12.  Dom tries not to go off on tangents, but Marcos brings a diverse experience to the mic, so that there were a lot of interesting conversational roads
