Why Study

Journalism in

Hawai‘i?

Some of the world’s fastest growing nations with the most dynamic economies are in Asia. Hawai‘i Pacific University, at the heart of the Pacific Region, is ideally positioned to provide an American education in the center of an emerging Pacific-Asian economy. Also, HPU offers the intellectual and theoretical framework for humanities-based journalism study, and a faculty of professional journalists with many years of experience in print, broadcast and digital newsrooms.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW/OBJECTIVES Journalism is the gathering, interpretation, writing, editing, presentation and dissemination of information upon which we base

our society’s decisions. Such information may be breaking news such as war or disaster, may provide insight into the triumphs and tragedies of the human condition, or offer important practical information to people about their daily lives. Students

prepare for graduate study and careers in print journalism, broadcasting, photojournalism, online, digital or design.

They learn to interview and gather data from multiple sources. They learn to present that data quickly, accurately, and fairly. They become cognizant of the effects of agenda-setting, bias, and gate-keeping of information vital to

an informed public.

The major goal of the HPU Journalism program is to help students become ethical communicators no matter what area of Journalism they undertake. This reflects the continuing, major transformational era that Journalism has been undergoing. This process continues to evolve at a rapid speed. Our program is based on the convergence of media in the multi-platform, digital age.

Students who major in journalism will be prepared to:

• Think critically and write clearly, concisely, correctly, and in an appropriate style for print, broadcast, or Internet media • Demonstrate an understanding of basic journalism theory • Demonstrate an understanding of and an ability to apply principles and practices of journalism law and ethics, including development of personal standards and an analytical system for resolving ethical conflict • Demonstrate dynamic, effective, and persuasive oral, written, visual and digital communication skills • Demonstrate the ability to practice journalism and to function as reporters, writers, editors, photographers, videographers, and/or web, digital and graphic designers • Present information in all available media: print, radio, television, web or multimedia

Why Study Journalism at HPU?

Journalism Program

HPU’s award winning student newspaper, the Kalamalama, provides opportunities for journalism students to

be published in print, on the web and in other digital media.

13www.hpu.edu/journalism

HANDS-ON EXPERIENCEThe Journalism program places a strong emphasis on internships with professional news media, government and professional com-munication organizations. Most of our majors take internships for academic credit in print, broadcast, magazine and digital media operation in Hawai‘i, on the Mainland or abroad. Many of our students choose to do a semester of study abroad. The practicum experience allows students to observe, understand and appreciate how a modern media organization works. It is extremely useful in allowing students to assemble résumés and professional portfolios, and also network with professionals in the field — skills vital to finding employment after graduation. On campus, we have the Kalamalama, our award-winning campus newspaper. Working as a Kalamalama staff member provides students the opportunity to get published in print, on the web, and in other digital media. The Kalamalama also offers training in video and photography.

CAREER OPTIONSThe opportunities for Journalism are rapidly changing as the field undergoes a trans-formational stage not seen since the invention of the steam press. Times of change are times of opportunity. Nearly every field is looking for talented people who can gather, write, edit, present and disseminate credible, reliable information in a variety of formats. This provides a vast range of communication opportunities in the corporate, government, education, non-profits, and small business fields. Additionally, many of our students who continue their studies by earning a Master of Arts in Communication gain a competitive edge and find a rich variety of opportunities await them.

HPU’s student newspaper, the Kalamalama, has

received 13 first place awards from the American

Scholastic Press Association.

Working for the University newspaper has been

an interesting and challenging experience that has

stretched my abilities and taught me something

new every day. From my creative writing ability,

to my research skills, it’s yet another way HPU is

preparing me to achieve my fullest potential.
