This is from the Manager’s Desk.
This week, I am highlighting our students who have been recognized with awards in the past several months. These awards are for work these students complete for class credit offered at KGOU through the University of Oklahoma Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communications, but these winning stories have also been broadcast by KGOU.
The Oklahoma Broadcast Education Association recognized, Sarah Hurd in first place, Molly Evans in second, and Hayley Thornton in third for long-form radio journalism.
The Society of Professional Journalists in Region 8 recognized Molly Evans in first place for Radio Feature and Hayley Thornton in first place for Radio In-depth Reporting.
The Hearst Foundation Radio Competition recognized Hayley Thornton with an eighth place award in a very competitive event.
The Broadcast Education Association National Festival of Media Arts presented Molly Evans with an honorable mention.
Hayley Thornton, Molly Evans and Madeline Stebbins together won the Grand Prize for audio documentary program from the National Broadcasting Society Awards.
And Molly Evans is listed as a finalist in the Society of Professional Journalist national student competition for her radio feature.
Congratulations to these excellent students!
From the Manager’s Desk, I’m Karen Holp.
