The Honolulu Record was a newspaper established in 1948 by Koji Ariyoshi, a Hawaiian Nisei labor activist and war veteran with support from the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
History
A Pro Communist Party newspaper, The Record earned a strong reputation for its muckraking investigative journalism. In 1950, it revealed that a much-praised 14-year professor at the University of Hawaii, Shunzo Sakamaki, had been denied tenure simply because he was Japanese - and that no "local product" had ever been promoted to full professorship.{{cite book |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=D-QPLqwlr7cC&dq=%22honolulu+record%22&pg=PA198 |title=Shaping History: The Role of Newspapers in Hawai'i |last=Geracimos Chapin |first=Helen |date=1996 |publisher=University of Hawaii Press |isbn=0824817184 |chapter=Chapter 28: The Honolulu Record and the Art of Muckraking |access-date=December 28, 2014}} Ariyoshi's dogged four-year campaign eventually resulted in the tenureship of Professor Sakamaki.{{Cite journal |title=Honolulu Record |url=https://dspace.lib.hawaii.edu/handle/10790/6171 |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Honolulu Record Homepage |url=https://www.hawaii.edu/uhwo/clear/HonoluluRecord/homepage/homepage.html# |access-date=2023-10-09 |website=www.hawaii.edu}}
