Two journalism students win Hearst Awards

Thursday, January 17, 2008

Two University journalism students received awards from the William Randolph Hearst Foundation, an honor often named the “College Pulitzers.”

Travis Robinett, Austin, Texas senior, and Betsy McLeod, Lenexa junior, placed third and sixth in the contest, respectively. Robinett won $1,000 for his column about a Mizzou T-shirt celebrating Quantrill’s raid. McLeod won $500 for “The war comes home”, a column about her marriage to a Marine recently home from Iraq.

William Randolph Hearst, a publisher, established the William Randolph Hearst Foundation in the 1940s. Since then, the foundation has given more than $500 million in grants and awards.
