KU alumna wins Hearst Award

Tuesday, December 7, 2010

A former journalism student and University Daily Kansan staff member won third place in college feature writing in the 2010 William Randolph Hearst Foundation’s Journalism Awards Program.

Aly Van Dyke, who graduated in May and now works for The Kansas City Business Journal, will be awarded $1,500 for her April 21 feature “Unexpectedly Expecting.” Her story looked at unplanned pregnancies and the decision-making process of four women, including two KU students.

About 110 undergraduate journalism programs at colleges and universities nationwide are eligible to participate. The Hearst Journalism Awards Program consists of six monthly writing competitions, with championship finals in all divisions. The program, in its 51st year, annually awards up to $500,000 in scholarships and grants.
