Christina Campodonico is a San Francisco-based journalist. She first fell in love with local news covering beach cities in her native SoCal and managing a 49-year-old newspaper (yes, newspaper!) with a nautical-sounding name and roots in Greek mythology. She brings that passion for building up local communities and breaking down local news to the hills of San Francisco, where she is a reporter, researcher & editor with Here/Say Media.

Christina initially caught the writing bug at Princeton, where she served on the editorial board of The Daily Princetonian. She chased it to the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, where she earned her master’s as an Annenberg Fellow, co-founded the award-winning arts & culture newsmagazine Ampersand and has taught as an adjunct instructor. Her work has been nominated for multiple Southern California Journalism Awards and appeared in the Los Angeles Times, KCET’s Southland Sessions, Los Angeleno and LA Stage Alliance’s @ This Stage.
