    Brief excerpt from interview: In fiction... Joyce's Ireland... is a very distinctive understanding of place . . . A better understanding of where they live . . . puts them in contact with people they would not have otherwise met . . . Our program, our show, what we do is related to this place . . . Nowhere else, I think, in America would you be going to Kawai High to do a story about the . . . community of Native Hawaiians . . . Doing the stories gives the students some sense of not only the place, but it's a Hawaiian place that these people feel strongly about.

    Brief excerpt from interview: I do think that the place-based part of it . . . makes it far more relevant . . . One of the virtues of coming to campus is that you're generally familiar with the campus . . . I want [students] to go to places that are a little out of their comfort zone . . . you need to be able to go outside of your comfort zone and investigate, ask why—asking why can be very uncomfortable.

    Brief excerpt from interview: The results are on display ... people can make their judgments based on the work product . . . We put a heavy emphasis on—what have the students done with what we provided them? . . . They are able to apply what they've learned... about this community, even if they leave this community . . . They have not only a sense of being [in] Hawaiʻi but all the projects they did . . . It's so important to have a very distinctive sense of being in Hawaiʻi and doing stories that are relevant to Hawaiʻi because Hawaiʻi is where our viewers are.

    Brief excerpt from interview: It takes teamwork to put together any kind of production. Writing with pictures as well as words... you can't rely on one or the other. Part of the product of whether we 'suggest' or 'tell' is time. [Script writing] is a very different kind of writing for them. We need those kinds of writing tricks [like transitions] to go from one thing to the other.
