UWIRE, a syndicated wire service for collegiate publications, recently honored six University of Kansas journalists by naming them members of the UWIRE 100.
The University was the institution with the most honorees, followed by Indiana University with five and Penn State with four.
Francesca Chambers, Paola junior, Courtney Condron, Leawood senior, Rustin Dodd, Overland Park senior, Matt Erickson, Olathe senior, Megan Hirt, 2008 graduate, and Ryan McGeeney, Lawrence graduate student, accepted the awards.
A panel of professionals, professors and student journalists chose 100 winners out of more than 800 nominees.
“It’s kind of nice because it’s based on the nomination of your peers,” McGeeney said. “It’s nice to know you have the support of your peers.”
Joe Weasel, CEO of UWIRE, said Monday in a news release that the 100 chosen were a “remarkable group of journalists.”
“Each has made a significant impact on the field already — they are talented, hard workers and gifted storytellers. Each was nominated by their peers and advisers, who recognized their potential to shape the ever-changing media industry in the coming years,” Weasel said in the release.
