Former journalism students honored in Hearst awards

Two William Allen White School of Journalism graduates and former University Daily Kansan reporters were recognized in the Hearst National Writing, Photojournalism and Broadcast News Championship.

Frank Tankard won the “Article of the Year” award for his in-depth article “Built for Disaster,” which was published in The Kansan. He received a prize of $1,000 for the story. C.J. Moore was one of five runners-up in the writing championship and received a $1,500 scholarship.

“It was definitely a big honor,” Tankard said. “It shows they thought my hard work paid off.”

Finalists traveled to San Francisco in June to show off their writing, photography, radio and television skills in on-the-spot assignments. The championships were the height of the 2006-2007 Hearst Journalism Awards Program. Under the sponsorship of the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication, 107 undergraduate colleges and universities participated.
