## Resource

After 53 years shaping journalism at East Los Angeles College, Jean Stapleton is retiring—but her legacy? Unshakable. From mentoring future giants of the press to steering Campus News through controversy and change, she turned classroom lessons into real-world impact. Even when demoted for exposing campus scandals, she fought back and returned stronger, proving journalism’s power to hold power accountable. Her students didn’t just graduate—they went on to headline major publications. Now, as the search for her successor begins, one thing’s clear: Stapleton didn’t just teach journalism—she built a movement. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
