ICYMI: Throughout the 2024-2025 academic year, several HEARST Journalism Awards were given to the dedicated storytellers from MSU’s School of Journalism!
Hear from faculty and the student award recipients in our full roundup: spr.ly/6010fpzSA
ALT Quote from Faith Cabalum - HEARST Journalism Awards Multimedia First Place Winner: "My favorite part was getting to share Satsuki Ina's story, who is a part of 0.004% of the U.S. population born in the Japanese American internment camps at the time. Her perspective was unique, and the opportunity to share it in a way that could inspire change was the most meaningful part."
ALT Quote from Karina Prieto - HEARST Journalism Awards National Championship Television Finalist: "Competing against such talented reporters was so motivating, I truly learned something from each and every one of them. I left the experience feeling so invigorated and excited to continue pursuing journalism."
