San Jose Spotlight and Omar Habbas launch new educational initiative to support the future of local news - San Jose Spotlight
Briefly

San José Spotlight announces Omar Habbas as the inaugural supporter of a new educational initiative aimed at nurturing aspiring journalists in Silicon Valley. Amid a significant decline in local news outlets, the initiative seeks to address issues related to disinformation, civic disengagement, and the erosion of democracy. The program focuses on training young reporters from underrepresented communities, promoting a more diverse and engaged journalistic landscape. Both Habbas and Spotlight leadership emphasize the vital link between local journalism and community empowerment, seeking further funding to expand this important project.
The law and journalism share a common mission: to seek truth and ensure justice for all. I am honored to join San José Spotlight and make a difference in the delivery of objective, honest, and reliable news through this educational initiative.
Local journalism is not just about reporting news. It is about uplifting communities, fostering engagement, and safeguarding democracy. By partnering with Omar Habbas, we are taking a critical step in building the future of journalism in Silicon Valley by investing in the youth.
