A special thanks

I'm proud to announce I've been selected as the first place winner of the Indianapolis Press Club's Excellence in Student Journalism Award.

This is a huge honor, and I feel absolutely humbled to have been chosen.

So I want to use this space to thank the IPC, Ball State's Department of Journalism and the many people I've gotten to work with throughout my internships.

As thrilled as I am to have won this award, I'm more thrilled by what I think it means. I think it reflects a journalism community ready and willing to embrace new forms of storytelling to meet the changing needs of audiences.

And of course, I would like to congratulate Ball State's Ryan Howe for placing third in this year's Keating Competition.

Again, this is a huge honor, and thanks goes out to everyone who has touched my education.

I owe any award I might get to the village that raised me. ;)
