Raul Alonzo was an award-winning Foghorn staffer while he was a student at Del Mar College. His time on student newspapers both at DMC and at TAMU-CC have served him well – he would go on to work for the Corpus Christi Caller-Times and Gateway Media while wrapping up work on a bachelor’s degree in media arts at the university. Today, he’s a Digital Producer for the Texas Standard weekday radio news magazine, which airs on National Public Radio stations across the Lone Star State.College Relations staff caught up with Alonzo when he was invited to return to campus in March 2025 to give a talk on a project that began during his days as a Foghorn reporter. He was genuinely excited to share details about his work and how his time at DMC helped him build the skill set he needed to excel in his current role.
