About Me

Tasneem Raja is The Bay Citizen's web producer. She earned a master's degree from the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, where she was a pioneer student in the school's digital media program. She served as a web producer for Oakland North (oaklandnorth.net), one of three local news sites the journalism school launched in 2008 to bring innovative coverage to under-served communities in the Bay Area. For her work in designing and curating breaking-news packages online, she received the Wired Magazine Award for Excellence in a New Media Project in 2010. Before dabbling in the "dark side," Tasneem worked for three years as a staff news reporter and copyeditor at the Chicago Reader.
