Karan Abrol A week after I landed in the Bay Area, I went to an open mic night to stave off the loneliness and homesickness I was already starting to feel. Before starting, I told the crowd that it was my first week here, that my family was far away and that I'd lived all my life somewhere else. Almost immediately an o...

Filed under Letters to the Editor, Opinions
The editorial opinion article posted on-line on June 22, 2017, written by News Editor, Kunal Mehta, again contains a number inaccuracies and misconceptions.

Parking lot cameras would set wrong precedent
Kunal Mehta, News Editor

Jay Serrano After four years and nearly 90 issues at La Voz, it feels strange to be leaving. I never planned on being here for this long, but, having reached the end, I don’t regret a single moment. You typically don’t spend five years at community college because things went right, and, for me,...

Kunal Mehta I don’t like writing...or at least I didn’t a year ago. I had heard so much about how “good journalism is more important now than ever” and decided to try it myself. I’ve been on the La Voz team for two quarters now, and can tell you that statement is patently false: we alwa...
