Civil Beat Is Partnering With UH To Teach Journalism Students … A class of student reporters, most of them college seniors, have already produced stories out of the Legislature’s opening day.
You might start seeing a lot of new bylines in Civil Beat.
That’s because we’re partnering with the University of Hawaii Manoa journalism program this semester to cover the 2022 legislative session. Our reporters will still be covering the session, of course, but we’re giving UH students enrolled in a capstone course some space to publish their work. You can find those stories — including some from opening day — in a new section on our website called “The UH Beat.”
We’re working with Brett Oppegaard, a professor in the journalism program and the instructor for this course, the UH student newspaper Ka Leo O Hawaii, and its editor Krista Rados (who is also enrolled in the class) to introduce students to the journalist’s real world of tight deadlines, demanding editors and sources who may not call them back in time.
