Two veteran journalists now lead Honolulu Star- Advertiser coverage in two key areas — education and the military in Hawaii. Esme M. Infante joins the newspaper Monday as its education reporter, and Kevin Knodell began covering the military in November. Infante comes with more than three decades’ experience in communications spanning broadcast, print and digital media, and public relations, marketing and promotions. “I am very excited to cover education again, this time for the Star-Advertiser, especially since education is a topic particularly close to my heart,” Infante said. He is an alum of Report For America, a nonprofit that places journalists in local newsrooms to cover under-reported topics.
