Tori DeJournett, a journalism<\/a> major at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa, has been named a Dow Jones News Fund intern<\/a>—an honor among the nation\u2019s most talented up-and-coming journalists. Selected from a pool of more than 1,000 applicants, DeJournett is among 86 college students, and the only recipient from Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>, chosen for the highly competitive program that offers paid summer internships in 62 newsrooms around the country.<\/p>\n

“I am very grateful for all the opportunities that I have been able to partake in through Â鶹´«Ã½M\u0101noa\u2019s Journalism program,” said DeJournett, who will be graduating May 11, at UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa\u2019s 113th Annual Commencement Exercise held at the Stan Sheriff Center. “The skills and knowledge that I have gained from the professors and mentors will serve me well throughout my career.”<\/p>\n

Past recipients and their placements include: Keya Rivera<\/a>, Pacific Business News<\/em> in 2023; and Krista Rados, at Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> News Now, and Nate Bek, at Geekwire, in 2022.<\/p>\n

“These achievements show what UH<\/abbr> students can do, toe to toe with the best students in the nation,” said Professor Brett Oppegaard, journalism program director. “If you want to study journalism, and you want to do that in Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>, you can get a great, nationally competitive education in this field. We also are home growing in M\u0101noa, the next generation of our community\u02bbs most trusted storytellers and truth tellers.”<\/p>\n
