KU Journalism School earns Hearst honor
Make it three years in a row for Kansas University School of Journalism students.
The school accumulated the most total points in the William Randolph Hearst Writing Foundation Awards competition.
The points were awarded based on six writing competitions throughout the year. Coming in behind KU were the University of Missouri, Northwestern University and Arizona State University.
KU journalism students have won a total of $10,600 in the contests this year, and the School of Journalism received matching funds of $10,600, plus an additional $10,000 for finishing first in the Intercollegiate Writing Competition. Three KU journalism students, Matt Erickson, Rustin Dodd and Mark Dent, will travel to San Francisco in June to compete in the national writing championships.
