Panel: Changes In Honolulu Media
Representatives from HPR, Civil Beat and UH Manoa will address the tumult in local journalism.
If you’re not busy Wednesday around lunchtime, a good investment of your time would be to attend a talk on Honolulu’s changing media landscape.
It’s at the East-West Center from noon to 1 p.m.
Here’s an excerpt from the promo:
A lot is happening in the local media scene: Civil Beat has transitioned to a new nonprofit business model; China Daily USA has begun publishing a new weekly Honolulu edition; Hawaii Public Radio has a new head; and the Star-Advertiser/Midweek is going through staff cutbacks, just to name a few. Join the East-West Center and the UH Manoa School of Communications Journalism Program for an informal roundtable discussion on what’s been going on lately in Honolulu media. New Hawaii Public Radio President José Fajardo will introduce his vision for the station; Civil Beat Editor Patti Epler will discuss the changes at the news website; Ji Tao, president of China Daily USA, will explain the paper’s entry into the Hawaii print market, and UH journalism scholars Ann Auman and Brett Oppegaard will assess impacts of recent Hawaii media changes.
The talk is co-sponsored by East-West Center and the UH Manoa School of Communications Journalism Program.
It’s free admission, but there is limited seating. Call 944-7111 or email EWCInfo@EastWestCenter.org to see if they can squeeze you in.
There is paid parking available on the UH Manoa campus.
