The award honors professors for outstanding achievement in preparing journalism students, advancing journalism education and promoting career development. AEJMC, the nation’s largest organization of journalism professors, presented the award to Shelledy at its annual conference in Minneapolis in August. As Manship School Dean Jerry Ceppos put it in his nomination letter, Shelledy “directs a sort of news empire in which LSU students investigate unsolved civil-rights murders by making Freedom of Information requests and helping families turn the page on a scarring chapter in their lives; learn to cover the Louisiana state legislature, or work with news editors around the state in fulfilling requests on a wide range of reporting assignments.” “In student media and in the classroom, Jay has improved the journalism of several thousand students during his 11 years at LSU,” Ceppos said. For six years, students in his field experience class have traveled to the rural South and Washington, D.C., to tell the stories of unsolved civil-rights era murders.
