Journalism Students Win Environmental Reporting Award

KSC journalism students placed third in the Outstanding Student Reporting category of the Society for Environmental Journalists’ (SEJ) 2009 Awards for Reporting on the Environment. Melissa Ball, Randall Booth, Casie Brown, Meghan Foley and Ian Lord received recognition for their investigative package, “Getting The Lead Out,” which was published in the 5/8/08 issue of KSC’s student newspaper, The Equinox.

SEJ will honor the winners and present the awards on October 7 at an awards ceremony at the SEJ’s 19th annual conference. Nearly 800 journalists, academics, and others are expected to attend the five-day gathering.
