As the Editorial Board of UCLA Radio, we are committed to representing and uplifting the voices of UCLA and the Los Angeles community. We are a team of student journalists working to share the perspectives of our diverse campus, creating forums for discussion that empower the students, workers and faculty of UCLA in their day-to-day lives.
Our team is composed of nine students across our News and Digital Press departments, who work tirelessly to come to a collective understanding of our constantly evolving campus. We understand that UCLA’s diversity means that our community’s viewpoints may sometimes come into conflict. When this happens, we aim to highlight perspectives that may be marginalized or overlooked, in order to inform healthy and meaningful conversations that promote positive social change.
