CalMatters is a nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom committed to explaining California policy and politics.

Local reporters

Mikhail Zinshteyn covers higher education for CalMatters. He’s been a higher education reporter since 2015. As a freelancer, he contributed to The Atlantic, The Hechinger Report, Inside Higher Ed and The 74.

The CalMatters College Journalism Network trains and pays student fellows, selected through a competitive application process, to cover college issues across the state.

We’re working with a team of fellows focused on data-driven and investigative stories:

  • Julian Mendoza, the multimedia and podcast editor at The Orion, Chico State‘s independent newspaper.
  • Angie Orellana Hernandez, the Diversity and Inclusion Director at the Daily Trojan at the University of Southern California and the USC News Editor at Annenberg Media.
  • Omar Rashad, a community-college graduate who’s the data and investigations reporter at Mustang News, the independent student-run news organization at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
  • Katherine Swartz, the University News Editor of The Daily Nexus student newspaper at UC Santa Barbara.
