“University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> students and graduates provide the heart and soul of local journalism,” said UH<\/abbr>‘s Journalism Program<\/a> Director Brett Oppegaard. “These are the people who shine the light of truth in the state, and none of it happens without their talent, dedication and hard work. Many of them are UH<\/abbr> graduates, trained in the UH<\/abbr> Journalism Program, and I think that speaks well of the impacts of the program, especially within the state.”<\/p>\n

In addition, four students with UH<\/abbr> ties earned paid summer journalism internships: Summer Steinsrud, UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa (Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> News Now); Keilani Martin, UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa (KHON2<\/abbr>); Alyssa Salcedo, UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa (Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Public Radio); and Sarah Burchard, Kapiʻolani<\/span> Community College (Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Magazine<\/em>).<\/p>\n
