Welcome to The Insider!
The Insider is now starting its third year as the Glendale Community College campus magazine.
Since its debut in Spring 2008, the Insider has won 14 awards in state and regional competition including two coveted general excellence awards, and three first-place wins in opinion and feature writing.
For several years, Journalism 107, Magazine Writing, has been a class offering of the Language Arts Department. And while many students have gone on to have their work published, there was never a campus showcase for their talent until The Insider filled that void. Our third issue is the largest to date, and covers a broad spectrum of topics from bolero music to chessboxing. We have added poetry and art, and expanded the always-popular profile section.
The Insider’s online edition features all the stories of the print copy plus more – more stories, more photographs, and interactive media. We are also experimenting with Magcloud, a print-on-demand service offered by Hewlett –Packard, to reach a larger audience than the campus community.
The world of journalism is constantly evolving, but we believe that a good story, well told, is still the essence of journalism, regardless of the medium that conveys the message.
— Jane Pojawa, editor-in-chief

The Journalism Association of Community Colleges [JACC] is an organization that promotes journalism at California’s Community Colleges. They sponsor a regional conference and a state convention every year that feature workshops, speakers, portfolio reviews, and journalism competitions. These contests are divided into categories for published work (mail-in and bring-in) and live competition (on-the-spot). Glendale’s journalism program has performed very well over the years, and the Insider, despite being a new magazine, has more than held its own against more established competitors.
