E-books showcased multimedia skills of The Californian


During my career, I've worked on several projects but we had a lot of fun developing multimedia books for The Bakersfield Californian in 2012. They were designed to showcase the multimedia talents of our staff, including the 2012 March Meet -- a historic drag race held in Bakersfield each March.

Here's the link to the March Meet page, where the book is available for $4.99

But if you're curious about some of the content from the book, here's a documentary that Mike Griffith and I produced in 2012.

We also produced some other titles of interest, including this one on Bakersfield High School's unbeaten season of 2011.

If you're interested in the history of Earthquakes, I think this was one of our best multimedia projects with a major story package in print, an hour on the radio and video interviews. All of that was wrapped up in a tidy e-book package with the aid of reporter Steve Mayer.

President Obama visited in 2012 to make Cesar Chavez's home a National Monument. It was a team effort to cover it, which included a complete live stream of the president's remarks.

Finally, this was a personal journey for me as I uncovered my Basque roots in Bakersfield, which features the nation's second largest population of Basques. All of the photos and video were produced by myself, with ample copy editing by Logan Molen.
