It was on April 30, 58 years ago when he formally began his journalistic career, different from the one that is done today, because at that time it was the typewriter, the notebook, the data in shorthand, the teletypewriters, the press in block letters printed in lead ingots marked the written press. The photography area with darkroom, pool and acids working at the rate of blackout were basic.

By sectors the city was in the dark and when it corresponded to the downtown sector, all those who worked in this publishing house, had to do it at the rate of blackout”.

More than 58 years of journalistic life, process of social changes, styles and forms of journalistic work, inconceivable technological changes and constant and permanent preparation and professional updating. 59 years working with vocation and will to serve. Alma Carmina is a source of testimonies for the history of Los Mochis, witnessing and participating in its social life. Thousands of covered events, weddings, baptisms, fifteen years, birthdays, showers, special events, reports, semblances, interviews. Journalism allowed Alma Carmina to get to know closely, from the first man who was on the moon, to Don Fidel Velázquez, Amalia Caballero de Castillo Ledon, Rafael, María Félix, Carmen Montejo, Carmela and Rafael, Mariano Azuela and Eulalia Guzmán, as well as first ladies of the state, many of whom have granted her their friendship. We must emphasize that in addition to his intense journalistic work he has been nerve and motor in actions for social welfare, supporting people who have less, promoting help for patients in situations of economic disadvantage. His participation has a double meaning: to offer his helping hand and to do so with professional ethics and love.Sharing his journalistic profession with his role as wife and mother, could be considered as a titanic effort, especially when by the mysterious paths of God, he gives him in custody an angel. Tender, intelligent, expressive and demanding. Without walking or speaking her daughter is an inexhaustible source of love and tenderness and the light that illuminates and keeps alive the flame of love in her home. Many and very great have been the satisfactions that both in her personal, family and professional life have filled her with pride. Personal history
Alma Carmina is the daughter of teachers Rubén Rosas Solís and Guadalupe Ibarra de Rosas. He was born in Tepic, the Nayarite capital. His early years were spent from town to town where his parents fulfilled their mission to teach. Their dreams were lulled by the a,e,i,o,u vowels that the children chanted ad nauseam. His first steps were precisely in the classrooms of rural schools where his parents served as teachers. The first teachings were received in Tepic including the Normal School of Nayarit. Later the family moved to Mexico City where he continued studying at the Miguel Lerdo school in Tejada.By then his parents had climbed positions within the teaching staff. Professor Rosas Solis was assigned as Inspector of Federal Education in El Fuerte and then with the same position, was transferred to the city of Los Mochis.En his childhood, adolescence and early youth Alma Carmina enjoyed a fraternal family atmosphere, full of love, respect and warmth. His training was one of respect for all, since his parents were teachers of the classroom and of his home, hence his discipline was ironclad, in terms of compliance with good customs, study and work. Given the impulse he received from his parents Alma Carmina imprinted on his life perseverance and effort, hence his early start in journalism.

He had a journalistic vein, because with all moral quality he affirms that the journalist is born, it is not made. Meeting so many people, so many brilliant figures of our world, learning from them and living to tell their experiences and experiences, is among others, a very important achievement in your life. May she rest in peace, Mrs Alma Carmina.
