ChicoSol will welcome a new, Chico-based full-time reporter in September, Yucheng Tang, after being selected to participate in the California Local News Fellowship program.
Tang is one of 39 early-career journalists in this news fellows cohort who will work for two years at an outlet that has a focus on local and underserved communities. The program is in its second year, placing reporters in selected outlets from Shasta to Orange County.
Tang begins work at ChicoSol Sept. 9 after moving to California from Manhattan, NY, where he recently completed an MFA at New York University (NYU) in narrative nonfiction writing. He previously earned a Master’s in management sciences in Beijing, China, where he studied global affairs.
