With a No. 1 overall finish in the William Randolph Hearst

Foundation’s Journalism Awards program and national-caliber efforts in several areas, students from the College of Communications set a standard for excellence during the 2011-12 academic year.

Award-winning photographer Andy Colwell captured everything from the emotion of flag-waving Penn State student Jake Librizzi (above) during an off-campus celebration of the death of Osama bin Laden to 4-year-old Wyatt Fritz (right) helping his father Ash mow the lawn at their home in Shanksville, Pa. Those photos were part of Colwell’s submissions for the photography category of the Hearst Foundation’s Journalism Awards Program. He was one of four Penn State students to qualify for the program’s individual national championships in San Francisco. (Story inside.)

Quartet qualifies to compete in San Francisco

Four College of Communications students qualified for the William Randolph Hearst Foundation’s Journalism Awards Program national individual championships, conducted in June in San Francisco.

Anna Orso and Trey Miller qualified for the writing championships; Kelley King qualified for the multimedia championships; and Andy Colwell qualified for the photojournalism championships.

Each year, 29 students—from the more than 1,000 who enter the Hearst monthly competitions throughout the academic year—qualify for the championships: eight in writing; five in radio; five in television; six in photo; and five in multimedia.

“It’s a tremendous honor for the students,” Dean Doug Anderson said. “They spend four days in San Francisco, completing on-deadline assignments. It is an invigorating—and stressful—time for them.

“We’re really proud of our contingent of qualifiers. Just think about it: More than 1,000 students entered the various competitions this academic year; 29 qualified for the individual championships from the country’s 108 nationally accredited undergraduate programs; and four of them are from one university—Penn State.”

Orso, of York, Pa., qualified by winning first place in breaking news writing for her story on the grand jury indictment of former Penn State football defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.

Miller, of Bellefonte, Pa., qualified for the championships by winning first place in sports writing for his in-depth story on how universities are increasingly relying on Internet scouting services and efforts by the NCAA to regulate.

King, of North Wales, Pa., is the College’s firstever student to qualify for the national multimedia individual championships.

Her main project, “Collecting Kids,” focused on a family with eight children—all adopted, and most with serious disabilities. The project combined frank and often humorous interviews with the parents with still and video images of the family at home.

Colwell, of State College, is the College’s first-

ever student to qualify for the national photojournalism individual championships.

Colwell’s major project was titled “Eight Days in November.” His picture series chronicled the arrest of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, the firing of Joe Paterno, the downtown riot and the final home football game of the season against Nebraska. Some of the images in his entry illustrated Sara Ganim’s Pulitzer Prize-winning work at the Patriot-News in Harrisburg.

This marks the first time the College has qualified four students in the same year for the championships.

Prior to this year, the College had qualified eight students for the individual championships this century: Ryan Hockensmith, writing, 2001; Alexa James, writing, 2002; Bob Viscount, radio, 2003; Halle Stockton, writing, 2007; Angela Haupt, writing, 2008; Aaron Patterson, television, 2008; Andrew McGill, writing, 2008 and 2010; and Paul Casella, writing, 2011.

Stockton captured first place in the individual championship writing finals in 2007; McGill finished second in 2008 and won the crown in 2010; and Casella placed third in the 2011 championships.

Students picked for prestigious Dow Jones program

Four Penn State journalism students were selected for summer internship positions provided through the Dow Jones News Fund Editing Intern Program.

The students were chosen from hundreds of applicants nationwide and will work at media outlets across the country beginning in mid-June. Selected this year were: senior Matthew Baumann of Collegeville, Pa., who will be working at the Roanoke (Va.) Times; junior John Adam Bittner of Bethel Park, Pa., who will be working at the Media General Consolidated Editing Center in Tampa, Fla., which serves the Richmond (Va.) Times Dispatch, the WinstonSalem (N.C.) Journal and the Tampa Tribune; senior Laura Ingrassia of Athens, Pa., who will be working at the Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Va.; and senior Samantha Kramer of Stroudsburg, Pa., who will be working at AccuWeather in State College.

Selected students attend eight-day training programs on college campuses before completing paid internships for a minimum of 10 weeks. Penn State will serve as one of the training locations, and three of the Penn State students will complete their edit-

ing training on their home campus.

At the end of the full program, interns who return to college as full-time students the following fall receive scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $1,800 from the Dow Jones News Fund.

Students qualify for consideration for the internships by scoring high on a standard editing test designed by the Dow Jones News Fund staff and administered under controlled conditions on the students’ home campuses. Final selections are made by directors of the training programs based on the test, reference checks, an essay and the student’s academic record.

Each of the Penn State selectees has had previous editing experience gained through positions at The Daily Collegian, OnwardState.com and professional internships. Including the new class of interns, 71 Penn State students have been selected as part of the Dow Jones News Fund Editing Intern Program during the past 12 years—second most of any university in America.

The Dow Jones News Fund is a nonprofit foundation supported by the Dow Jones Foundation and other communications companies.

Communications students earned nine different top-three finishes—besting broadcast professionals in several categories—during an annual contest conducted by the Associated Press for radio and television professionals in Pennsylvania.

Students from ComRadio, the Internet-based radio station housed in the College of Communications, and “Centre County Report,” the weekly television newscast produced by communications students, drove the overall performance.

Competing with medium-market radio stations, ComRadio students captured three top-three results. With those performances, students trumped professional counterparts from cities such as Harrisburg, Scranton, Williamsport and WilkesBarre.

The top three finishers in the enterprise reporting category for radio were all Penn State students: sen-

ior Erica Brecher, first place; junior Marco Ranzi, second place; and junior Ryan Smith, third place.

In the medium-market television category, students also competed against professionals and earned one second-place finish and one third-place finish. Individually, Brittany Boyer claimed second place in weathercast for “Centre County Report.”

Also, “Centre County Report” earned third place for regularly scheduled newscast and sports talk program.

The competition also included categories exclusively for students. In student radio, junior Anita Oh finished second and “Centre County Report” swept the category for television. First, second and third places were captured by James Gheradi, senior Dan Yesenosky and senior Rachel Polansky, respectively.

Students compete, shine in competition vs. professionals

AWARDS AND HONORS, 2011-12

Communications students who produce “Centre County Report,” a weekly television news program, participate in a regular critique session after shooting an episode of the show. They conduct their award-winning work in state-of-the-art studios.

Two students, two programs earn BEA Festival honors Two Penn State students and two television programs produced by students in the College of Communications were recognized for outstanding individual and collective work as part of a national awards competition.

Their accomplishments were part of Penn State’s most successful performance ever in the Broadcast Education Association’s (BEA) Festival of Media Awards. The competition recognizes the best student broadcast work in the nation.

Penn State honorees were: Ashley Hinson, who won first place in TV Sports Talent (Anchor/Host); “In The Game,” Penn State’s sports magazine television show, which placed second in TV Sports Story/Feature/Show Element/Segment or News Program; “Centre County Report,” a weekly live newscast produced by students that placed second in Television Newscast; and Dan Yesenosky, who received an honorable mention in Television Hard News Reporting for his investigative reporting surrounding Penn State Dance Marathon fundraising.

Hinson, a senior broadcast journalism student from Wexford, Pa., showcased her skills as a sports anchor for both the “Centre County Report” and “In The Game” during the fall semester. She was surprised about her finish in the competition.

“It’s such an amazing feeling to be recognized for all of the long hours put in over the course of the semester,” Hinson said. “It has reassured me that doing what I love is paying off and makes me want to work even harder to accomplish my dream and become a respected reporter for a network television station.”

Hinson said her work with “Centre County Report” was particularly helpful in her growth as a broadcast journalist. She said the professional studio and real-world experience of working on a tight deadline provided her with the practical knowledge she’ll need after graduation.

The BEA is a professional association for professors, industry professionals and graduate students who are interested in teaching and research related to electronic media and multimedia enterprises.
