Story Criteria
California Chronicle’s goal is to illuminate the struggles, triumphs, and actions that brought about change.
We seek to share stories about social justice, racial equity, combating ageism, homelessness, poverty, addiction,
substance abuse, LGBTQ pride, successes, failures, joys, difficulties, and community connections. Do not worry if
your story doesn’t fall under these suggestions. California Chronicles wants to share everyone’s unique experiences.
All Californians have a legacy to share. But how can we turn that legacy into an engaging story? When telling your story,
address the following: Tell us what successes, failures, joys, difficulties you faced as a Californian. Highlight the impact
it had on yourself and others. If you have any lessons you learned from your experience, now is the time to share.
Including some of these details will make your story more interesting to an audience. But remember, the most important thing
is that you tell your story naturally and from your own, unique perspective.
