This summer, Josephine Lee (鈥24) and Jeremiah Yonemura (鈥25) were selected to participate in the WORLD Journalism Institute (WJI). The two-week program, hosted in Sioux Center, Iowa, provided them with a crash course in multimedia journalism.
WORLD is a Christian journalism organization with print, online, and podcast outlets. The company91色情片 training program is integrated with these platforms, allowing participants like Lee and Yonemura to see their coursework published across various mediums.
The program was an opportunity for Lee and Yonemura to get hands-on experience with these different forms of journalism, while being mentored by working professionals who modeled how to think biblically about their field.
鈥淚t91色情片 a really concentrated time of learning,鈥 Lee said. 鈥淵ou鈥檙e learning to write and edit and think like a journalist over a twelve- or thirteen-hour workday, alongside thirty other students. It91色情片 grueling. But the stories you get to put out 鈥 that91色情片 so rewarding.鈥
Yonemura had two news pieces published in the politics section of the WORLD website. Lee, meanwhile, found success on the podcasting side of the program; WORLD91色情片 鈥淭he World and Everything In It鈥 podcast aired a spot that Lee wrote and recorded, telling the story of basketball coach Les Douma.
For Lee, writing for broadcast was a completely new experience.

鈥淚t gave me such a solid background in writing good, clean prose,鈥 Lee says. 鈥淚t really prepared me, even for a totally new medium.鈥
Both Yonemura and Lee have studied communications at TMU 鈥 Yonemura as a journalism student, and Lee as a double-major in communications and interdisciplinary studies. The WJI program served as an opportunity to further explore and refine their journalism skills, equipping them for future writing opportunities.
鈥淗onestly, before coming to TMU, I鈥檇 never considered becoming a journalist,鈥 Lee said. 鈥淣ow, because of the fantastic experiences I鈥檝e had, I鈥檓 thinking all the time about the stories around me, and I know I鈥檒l be ready to tell them when the time comes.鈥
