Founders of Coyote Student News:

In fall 2012, a new online-print journalism program commenced at the College of Southern Nevada.

In its first two months, Coyote Student News received 7300 views with readers in 39 countries. It was a tremendous success. The staff included: Kheslleen Dimanche, Douglas Farra, Sallyann Ficarrotta, Li Han, Jordon Helm, Fabiola Marzano, Christopher Moxon, Alexsis Neuman, Stephanie Santana, Thomas Shafer, Ricardo Torres, and Rodrigo Vazquez. The legacy team passed the torch to the new group of aspiring journalists.
