Summer Steinsrud was born in Norway and, as a child, was shy but curious. Lili Hurd, originally from Denver, Colorado, sought a college major focusing on the creative strengths of storytelling. Emma Caires from Sunnyvale, California, appreciates the First Amendment right of freedom of expression. And Alyssa Salcedo, born in the Philippines and raised in Waipahu, is passionate about covering diverse communities.<\/p>\n

Different but alike. Unique but on the same career pathway. And all equally inspired as University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa College of Social Sciences<\/a> (CSS<\/abbr>) journalism<\/a> majors who attended this summer\u2019s 2024 East-West Center International Media Conference (IMC<\/abbr>) in Manila, Philippines. Held every two years in a major regional media hub, this year\u2019s IMC<\/abbr> conference was themed, “The Future of Facts,” with a focus on climate change, regional geopolitics and elections.<\/p>\n

It was a working trip for the student group from 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa<\/a>, who wrote daily stories and published them in The M\u0101noa Mirror<\/em> news website and its Instagram<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

“东精影业ing the conference left me awe-struck,” said Salcedo. “It gave me a glimpse into the challenges faced by journalists around the world, and I was able to contribute by participating in a panel discussion with other young journalists. The connections made and lessons learned are all-important and will be lifelong.”<\/p>\n

Gaining experience as a foreign correspondent<\/h2>\n

The students were accompanied by two CSS<\/abbr> adjunct instructors, Annalisa Burgos, Hawaiʻi<\/span> News Now (HNN<\/abbr>) weekend anchor, and David Usborne, a founding member of The Independent British online newspaper.<\/p>\n

“This was the first time 东精影业<\/abbr> journalism students had the opportunity to experience reporting in the field as foreign correspondent,” said Burgos, who was an Asia-based journalist before joining HNN<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

The students were grateful to go abroad to cover the event, and said the life-changing trip cemented their interest in journalism.<\/p>\n

“Never in a million years would I have imagined that I\u2019d be reporting from Manila as a student,” said Steinsrud, who is interning at HNN<\/abbr> this summer.<\/p>\n

Hurd said what she loves most about journalism is being able to tell different stories through multiple platforms such as photography, video and podcasts.<\/p>\n

“What makes my department unique compared to other programs is we\u2019re encouraged to go out and do things in the field instead of just listening in a classroom,” said Hurd. “There\u2019s a lot of opportunities to practice our craft and see amazing places like the Philippines. You are traveling and engaging with Indigenous communities in the islands and beyond.”<\/p>\n

Added Caires, who hopes to pursue a career abroad after graduation in 2025, “I enjoy the freedom of expression that journalism allows. It\u2019s not just writing hard news—it\u2019s intricate storytelling, comic strips, tear-jerking photography, detailed video, carefully chosen words. Within each of these things comes the freedom and encouragement to use your own unique voice, experiences and background to make things matter to people.”<\/p>\n

Journalism is a program in the School of Communication and Information<\/a> (SCI<\/abbr>). Other SCI<\/abbr> programs are communication<\/a>, communicology<\/a>, library and information science<\/a>, and peace and conflict education<\/a>.<\/p>\n
