Student journalists of San Jose City College attended a presentation by American journalist and CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta at San Jose State University on Oct. 25 inside the Hammer Theater, where he discussed his concerns with the high amount of threats that journalists all over the country are facing.<\/p>\n

Acosta received the 2018 William Randolph Hearst Award for \u201cExcellence in Professional Journalism\u201d on Thursday evening Oct. 25.<\/p>\n

William Hearst Endowment for visiting professionals focuses on bringing distinguished individuals to campus to provide inspiration and expert guidance on career success based on ethical and responsible public service through the media.<\/p>\n

Acosta criticized the rhetoric used by President Trump, who calls CNN the disgusting news media and dishonest news, and its journalists liars. Acosta criticized rhetoric by the president who calls journalists the enemy of the people, resulting in the crowds chanting \u201cCNN sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Acosta talked about how fake news has revolutionized the real world. Acosta advised to \u201cstay strong and committed to speaking the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having a strong receptiveness to constructive criticism from editors, mentors and people that you\u2019ll meet along the way, and having an open mindset were the pieces of advice Acosta gave to the future journalists.<\/p>\n

Born April. 7, 1971, in Washington, D.C, and father of two children, Acosta was raised as Christian by his conservative parents.<\/p>\n

Acosta gained his education at Annandale High School before going on and graduating from James Madison University with a bachelor\u2019s degree in mass communication and a minor in political science.<\/p>\n

Many people attended the event and the crowd\u2019s reaction was positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be a journalist I think you have to be commit- ted to trying to do things straight down the middle, being fair, being objective and being accurate,\u201d Acosta said.<\/p>\n

“The administration doesn\u2019t stop real journalists to stop seeking the truth”, he said, \u201cWe are becoming more determined than ever to keep fighting for the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
