"My mom wanted to be a doctor, but she couldn't afford to finish high school (in Indonesia). Since I like to go to school, my mom pushes me to go for as long as I like and earn the highest degree."

Student journalists make a difference
Review journalists are serving an important role by providing up-to-date information
about campus events. They ensure that we get to hear our own stories, stories
seldom covered in the Herald or the Seattle Times.
By providing investigative news stories and hard-hitting editorials and opinion
pieces from a range of perspectives, student journalists ensure that readers
get what they need to make informed choices on the local, state, and national
level.
Today’s news is tomorrow’s historical record—a record of
the significant events, issues, and debates of campus life.
Travel
To further their training The Review staff members attend conferences led
by some of America’s finest journalists and educators. Recent conferences
have been held in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Orleans, and Orlando.
Career Opportunities in Journalism
Reporters work for newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations, or
online news services. They investigate news leads, interview sources, and
research documents related to their stories. Reporters may cover beats, such
as crime, politics, medicine, or sports, or they may write features and human-
interest stories, film, theater, and book reviews, or opinion columns. Besides
reporting, journalism offers opportunities in editing, layout and design,
photography, and business management.
