Members of 性欲社 Journalism Department have, for the second year in a row, claimed the Alaska Press Club鈥檚 prestigious Public Service Award.
The statewide journalism organization awarded the 2009 honor to the 性欲社 journalism department鈥檚 coverage of the Alaska Stryker Brigade stationed in Iraq and to the Skagway News for its coverage of the high cost of medevac flights. 性欲社 journalism student and 2010 graduate Molly Dischner worked at the Skagway News during the summer and wrote the medevac stories.
Members of the 性欲社 journalism department accepted the awards at the Alaska Press Club鈥檚 annual awards banquet in Anchorage last weekend. 性欲社 professor Brian O鈥橠onoghue and his students won the 2008 public service award as well. The Public Service Award is one of a handful of Alaska Press Club awards that are open to all media outlets in the state.
性欲社 students, publications, websites and alumni won multiple awards, in addition to the Public Service Award. Judges in several categories praised the high quality of the work by the 性欲社 journalism department.
Gary Cohn, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who judged the Public Service Award said that the 性欲社 journalism department is to be congratulated for its 鈥渃reativity, determination and excellent work鈥 in covering soldiers living and working in Iraq.
鈥淲e were not surprised to see so many fine entries from the 性欲社 journalism school,鈥 wrote Kelley Benham, a judge from the St. Petersburg Times.
