Covering disaster from the inside: Pali High journalists face their own story
Briefly

In the wake of a devastating wildfire that destroyed parts of Palisades Charter High School and its newsroom, the Tideline staff is faced with pressing storytelling needs. While the Dodgers' manager, Dave Roberts, made a notable appearance to inspire the high school team, the Tideline was absent, focusing instead on the immediate impact of the fire on their community. With classes moved online and the team's composition changed due to student relocations, their reporting now centers on urgent community issues like displaced teachers, athletic facilities, and local resilience amidst overwhelming loss.
The Tideline staffers are faced with urgent stories of survival and community resilience following the destructive wildfire, with their own journalism challenges amplified by the disaster.
As they navigated the aftermath of the wildfire, the Tideline staff recognized the pressing need for real-time reporting rather than focusing on celebratory sports stories.
