Publication

Neon Tommy is a web-only student publication. The website is considered a Los Angeles-based news source, focusing on Los Angeles and California, but covering national and international stories as well.

The website strives to make its work fresh and unique, telling stories that other outlets are not. The website is a product of calls in recent years that print journalism is dying. The website aims to offers students at the schools a platform through which to learn the future of journalism, which is expected to be focused online.[1]

Competing in the real life blogosphere, the website is regularly linked to by the Los Angeles Times, L.A. Weekly, LAist, The Huffington Post, Romenesko, Gawker, Yahoo!, CNN,[2] SB Nation and more.

History

The website launched in the Spring 2009. The website received a redesign during Summer 2010.

Acclaim

The website won an L.A. Press Club award in 2010 for its reporting of the local swine flu crisis.[3]

Purpose

Unlike the Daily Trojan, USC's student newspaper, Neon Tommy focuses on everything but the campus at which it is based.

Operated, edited and managed by graduate and undergraduate students from all disciplines, the website serves not only as a lab and incubator for ongoing and transformative innovation in the fast-changing world of journalism but also as a vibrant and rich source of the very best in local, regional, national and international reporting and commentary.

Organization

A team of editors coordinates a staff of volunteers, who range from regular reporters to occasional contributors.
