Jayden Lovelady
I am currently a third-year multimedia student journalist at Cal State Fullerton with a concentration on social politics and culture. I am currently the Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Titan, CSUF's award-winning student newspaper, where I have gained experience in the news, lifestyle and opinion desks, hosting and executive producing the DT Podcast and managing a team of around 50. Along with the editorial side, I have freelance experience in media curation and content creation for musicians and independent record labels. Below are a few stories pulled from these sources and previous others.
In this transformative time in journalism, I believe new ground is being broken in terms of what we do with media and how to use it, so it's exciting to be a part of the industry as is blooms into something new before us!

Jakob Nowell — Free the Youth
“In my studies, what I learned is that the most Sublime thing you can do is just be genuine, and kind of not give a fuck.” - a grinning Jakob Nowell, cigarette in mouth in Downtown Disney. As the shining new front-man of one of SoCal’s best kept treasures unfolded his perspective and experiences in front of me, it was clear that the genuine warmth he brings to the stage was not a taught skill; that’s just who he is. Extremely human in his nature, he brought with him a wooden coaster in the pocke...
Dr. Tara turns taboo topics into triumphs
Bad sex can take a toll on a relationship, and the lack of open communication surrounding sex has already taken a toll on society. In bringing these two truths to light, Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn pioneered a place for “sex talks” across many different platforms. While the handful of communities and cultures she has found home in across her lifetime have often shied away from the taboo, the Cal State Fullerton Human Communications professor embraces it. “The moment I knew that I’m the ‘It girl’...

Opinion: Put action back into modern activism
As tension hangs in the air of the United States, little spurts of trending actions taken in hopes of making a point have surfaced exponentially, however, they lack certain nuances. Social media presents itself as a landscape for change, but it falls short of actually making a difference. While these digital platforms are a great tool for outreach, activism shouldn’t stop at the trending curated versions of “resistance” online. Following the actions of Elon Musk and his Nazi-esque salute at the...
