  • Winners of 52Nd Annual Socal Journalism Awards Announced
    Winners of 52nd Annual SoCal Journalism Awards Announced A. JOURNALISTS OF THE YEAR A $1,000 CASH PRIZE: BEST IN SHOW: Greg Katz, Los Angeles Daily Journal A1. PRINT (Over 50,000 circulation) Alana Semuels, Los Angeles Times. Judges’ comments: In a year in which no story mattered more than the pain caused by the economic downturn, Semuels nonetheless found fresh and engaging ways to bring a heavily covered story to life. Whether profiling a dying lumber town or a booming community of pot farmers, Semuels brought the economy to life in human terms and took a story often reduced to lifeless statistics and made it viscerally real. Her story about the web of connection linking a handful of the recession’s victims was masterful storytelling. And listen to this lede from the aforementioned pot-growing story: “Education has long been preached as a way to keep kids away from drugs. It’s the walk to school that has Superintendent Tom Barnett worried.” 2nd: Christine Pelisek, LA Weekly HM: Patrick Range McDonald, LA Weekly A2. PRINT (Under 50,000 circulation) Greg Katz, Los Angeles Daily Journal. Judges’ comments: Mr. Katz work uncovering the startling lack of basic civil rights in California’s secretive parole system will leave you speechless. First-class reporting and excellent writing. 2nd: Ryan Vaillancourt, Los Angeles Downtown News. HM: Amy Alkon, Creator’s Syndicate. A3. TELEVISION JOURNALIST Ana Garcia and Fred Mamoun, KNBC News Judges comments: Ana and Fred have created some great, high quality investigative journalism pieces. They are well put together and have great flow.

    USC Dornsife in the News Archive - 2011 December December 26, 2011 - January 3, 2012 The New York Times featured a Q&A with David Treuer of English, who recently wrote Rez Life, a book about growing up on a reservation in Minnesota. The Washington Post quoted Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics, about Mitt Romney’s ascendance in the field of Republican presidential candidates. Today (Singapore) cited Antonio Damasio, director of USC’s Brain and Creativity Institute, about the neural processes governing empathy and deep thought. Friday, December 23, 2011 Los Angeles Times ran an op-ed by Janet Fitch of the Master of Professional Writing Program reflecting on her mother’s cooking during the holidays. Wired quoted David Bottjer of earth sciences and biological sciences about new research on fossils that may hint at how multi-cellular creatures first came into being. Smithsonian cited research by Kaspar Meyer of psychology, finding that when study subjects were shown silent film clips, the brain regions governing sound would light up. Thursday, December 22, 2011 The New York Times ran an op-ed by David Treuer of English about how American Indian identity has been exploited by both the U.S. government and tribal people themselves at various times in history. Racial mixing has led to complications in tribal identification as well as knowing who should receive reservation benefits, Treuer wrote. Ultimately, tribes need to use metrics beyond bloodlines to identify members. "Having survived this long and come this far, we must think harder about who we want to be in the future, and do something more than just measure out our teaspoons of blood," he wrote.

    Valerie Gard JOUR 351B, 6:00 P.M. Darryl Ryan November 6, 2015 USC ANNENBERG SCHOOL Segmented Audience: Marginal Communication and Journalism 3502 Watt Way, Los Angeles, CA 90007 (213)-821-1660 To Prospective Public Relations Students, University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Commu- nication and Journalism is an energetic institution of leadership, innovation and discussion. Conveniently located in Los Angeles, the epicenter of entertainment, media and technology; USC’s Annenberg School bridges classroom learning with professional application. Students are offered a foundation in public relations, then challenged to rethink and reestablish the public relations world so that graduates can emerge as leaders within the field. As the PR program continues to grow at USC, the Annenberg School has expanded to two buildings and employs more than 80 full-time falculty members and 120 adjunct professors whom collectively teach and mentor over 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The Annenberg School also affords access to research and public interest projects and programs, including Norman Lear Center, Neon Tommy Newspaper, The Innovation Lab and the Knight Digital Media Center. According to College Confidential and the December 2011 issue of NewsPro, USC Annenberg was also ranked as the #5 Best Journalism School in the Country, and #1 Journalism School in California. This is in part because of the School’s unparalleled leadership: Dean and Walter Annenberg Chair of Communication Ernest J Wilson III is a former consultant to the World Bank and United Nations, served on the White House National Security Counsel, and worked at the Corpora- tion for Public Broadcasting.
