Biographical / Historical
Early publications such as The Mariner and El Trompetero reflect the campus’s transitional period as it relocated from Palos Verdes to Carson and began serving a growing, diverse student population. In the late 1960s and 1970s, titles like CSC-DH News, Weekly Bull, and The Newspaper documented student activism around the Vietnam War, the civil rights and Chicano movements, and debates over the mission of the university itself.
By the 1980s and 1990s, newspapers such as The Bulls Eye, Dominguez Weekly, and The Rainbow captured campus life during a time of enrollment growth and increasing emphasis on diversity and multiculturalism. In the 2000s, The Toro Times and the CSUDH Bulletin documented everyday campus events, sports, and student advocacy within a broader digital media environment.
