Current Mayor of San Jose Sam Liccardo was just announced as the commencement speaker for the College of Applied Sciences and Arts 2018 commencement ceremony. Liccardo grew up in Saratoga, CA and went to college at Georgetown and Harvard before coming back to the Bay Area. In 2014, he was elected mayor after serving on the San Jose City Council. "I just want people to know how great San Jose is and what amazing graduates are coming out of San Jose State," Liccardo said. Students expressed excitement after the commencement speaker was announced through email yesterday. "It's pretty cool to see the mayor take the time to come out and speak at our graduation. It shows how he goes above and beyond for this city," public relations senior Barbara Burke said. President Mary Papazian, who changed the graduation layout last year, will now attend each commencement for the seven colleges at San Jose State. "I'm very excited to physically go to every ...

Watch me from home, or on the go, I'll be the one telling you what's going on and what's important right now. My dream job is to be a reporter and anchor for a broadcast station in a top market. Always in a different place, telling a different story. When I went into college, I did not know what I wanted to do, but I knew that I did not want to sit at a desk in an office for the rest of my life. Unless that desk is a news desk with thousands watching, maybe I'll give in. I hope to have a career where I am respected, and can help tell the stories that mean the most to people.  As of now, I am looking at multimedia journalist jobs in places like Salinas and Chico. Multimedia journalists are required to report, shoot and edit their own videos, and looking at smaller markets such as these will give me a higher chance of getting hired since they ask for less experience.  Strong news judgement, communication skills, teamwork, filming and non-linear editing ar...

Identify the trend in each story? Example No. 1    Mobile ticketing, specifically for sports Example No. 2    Service animals and emotional support animals Which story appealed to you more and why? The first story appealed to me more because it was interesting to see the ways different Bay Area sports teams are implementing this new technology being in the Silicon Valley. Also, all of the quotes and stories from different people were intriguing.  What is your favorite quote from each story? Example No. 1     “It was hard enough learning how to work my Samsung flip phone,” said Norm Gilbert, 78. “I have no intention of getting a smartphone. My phone works fine and I don’t feel the need to change that.” Example No. 2     “People go to animals because the animals life revolves around their "person" and other people have too many things to do in their own life that it makes it hard to actually talk to someone about it...

Lisa Principi, an Emmy Award and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, died last night in the comfort of her home at the ripe age of 123. Before her death, she was the oldest living woman in the world at the time. After graduating from San Jose State University with a bachelor's degree in journalism, she went on to work in broadcast and print media all around California.

Both Principi and Bezos are well known for the philanthropic work around the world, specifically pertaining to children. After Bezos p...

For many, news of a Muslim travel ban in the U.S. brings up memories of a dark part of America’s recent history. Seventy-six years ago, a similar executive order called for the incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans. Director Abby Ginzberg was inspired by both of these events and drew a connection between the two in her documentary titled “And Then They Came For Us.” The film, featuring actor George Takei, tells first hand accounts from Japanese Americans on what it was like to be forcibly removed from their homes in 1942. The fifty-minute film displays photos from famous photographers, including Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams, to showcase real life in these camps. While images of propaganda against the Japanese flooded the media at the time, photographs within the camps were packed away by the government, virtually unseen for years. It is amazing to see how much emotion Lange was able to convey through her snapshots, seemingly able to fr...
