California State University Fullerton student Michelle King<\/a> is joining the Tracy A. Wood Fellowship.<\/p>\n

The Tracy A. Wood Fellowship was founded by the friends and family of the legendary journalist and Voice of OC Civic Editor to honor Wood\u2019s journalistic legacy by promoting women in journalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, we\u2019re at a really critical point for journalism. It\u2019s being targeted in a lot of ways that we have seen in the past and we also haven\u2019t seen in the past. It\u2019s becoming a pretty treacherous field for a lot of reporters, especially female reporters,\u201d King said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to keep strong in the face of what is going on and with a lot of criticism coming at us. And newsrooms like this and programs like this are what is keeping the field going strong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born in New Zealand and raised in Texas, King is an honors student at Cal State Fullerton. She currently serves as the associate managing editor of the student-run newspaper, the Daily Titan<\/a>, and the producer of the Daily Titan podcast. In prior years, she worked as a news editor and assistant copy editor for the paper.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re an aspiring journalist at the college level, there\u2019s some amount of confidence building that needs to happen in order for you to feel like you can show up in these spaces and report on the news in an effective manner, and I have seen Michelle build that confidence,\u201d said Becca Calvillo, assistant director and lecturer within the University Honors Program.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMichelle is definitely a role model, because she has such a personable nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

During her reporting internship at Voice of OC, King has covered the cities of Fullerton, Fountain Valley and Mission Viejo alongside other coverage, including a story on how Orange County residents can tap into $700 million in unclaimed property through a recently introduced initiative<\/a>.<\/p>\n
