Congratulations to UWIRE’s 100 best journalism students in college. You can click on the image of each student to learn more about them (the first thing I wondered when I saw the list: How have they been reporting on the presidential elections, racism and sexism?)
From Ohio: one from Ohio University and one from Kent State (out of 28 selected in the Midwest category)
The 100-person list, in no order of ranking, came about after the Web site sought nominations in February, resulting in 500 nominations of 361 students from 132 campuses. The panel sifted through the choices and created the 100 list this month. It will be posted on UWIRE.com and at E&P Online on Wednesday. Interviews with some of the winners will appear in our June print issue.
“We followed up the nominations by talking to people who worked with them and sought more references,” French says of the process. “It is not about campus newspapers, necessarily. It is student journalists. The best and most promising student journalists.”…
A sneak peak at the list shows that the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill had the most honorees, with five; followed by Penn State University and the University of Iowa with four each, and three a piece for the University of Florida, Syracuse University, Indiana University, and the University of Texas-Austin.
Two examples E & P highlights:
• William Quinn, a former U.S. Army interrogator at Abu Ghraib turned columnist for The Hoya at Georgetown University.
• Elham Khatami, opinion editor of The Pitt News at the University of Pittsburgh. An Iranian, she wrote about being detained during a visit to Israel for a series of editorials on Palestinian-Israeli relations.
