I’m happy that we could honor him and all the work he does.”

Kohatsu started at GVN in 1989 and became editor in 1991, as well as editing the Culver City Newsand Santra Monica’s Blue Pacific News. Kohatsu began teaching photojournalism at El Camino College in the fall of 2007. He retired from teaching in June 2019, and has been semi-retired from the GVN since February 2020.
