Jessica Lum

I wrote a Daily Bruin obituary for a UCLA alumna named Jessica Lum some days ago. I never knew her, but from reading and seeing her work I can tell she was a fantastic and talented journalist.

She was a skilled photographer and had a way with endearing herself to sources. She reported on HIV/AIDS in Thailand and took video for the Washington Post in South Korea.

Slab City Stories was her masters thesis project while she was attending Berkeley J-school. Here's my favorite video from her online project.
