Bilingual Radio Now Live in Humboldt County

Although there are more than 20 radio stations within range of Humboldt State University and the surrounding area, none are broadcast in a language other than English. With over 2,800 Hispanic/Latino-identifying students (according to a Fall 2016 report by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness) and more than 15,400 Hispanic-identifying residents (according to a July 2016 estimate by the U.S Census Bureau) throughout the county, some would argue that it is time for a radio broadcast that serves the Spanish speaking community.

Organizers March for Justice and Community in Arcata

Following a county judge’s decision to release suspected murder Kyle Zoellner, Humboldt State University students, staff, faculty and community members marched on the streets of Arcata in protest over the weekend. While the marches saw over 100 participants, they continued into the week, gaining more momentum in search of justice for David Josiah Lawson.
