SPJ, AAJA host journalism career workshop
Panelist Lucy Young-Oda, editorial page editor of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, said to get the best results from internships, “It really is what you make of it.”
Jason Ubay, managing editor of Hawaii Business magazine, moderated the panel which also included Kevin Bumgarner, editor of Pacific Business News; Mark Platte, news director of Hawaii News Now; and Malia Zimmerman, editor of HawaiiReporter.com. The speakers shared their insights on moving from print to broadcast, moving to Hawaii, starting a website and how news develops.
About 15 to 20 students and working professionals attended the event which included a panel discussion on what it takes to have a career in journalism. The attendees then broke into groups and did several 15 minute consultations with Oskar Garcia, news editor of Associated Press; Sara Lin, assistant editor at Civil Beat; and Steve Petranik, editor of Hawaii Business magazine, as well as the panelists.
