Why not:

String timeZone = getParam("timezone");
return (timeZone ? timeZone : "US/Eastern");

?

because timeZone isn't a boolean
this isn't C, unfortunately

Best way with java 8 optional
String timeZone = getParam("timezone").orElse("US/Eastern");

String timeZone = getParam("timezone");
return timeZone == null ? "US/Eastern" : timeZone;
