JAMS Student brings home prestigious SPJ Award
Pagel is the Music Outreach Director for Prowl Radio, the student-run JAMS Organization.
JAMS student Grace Pagel is the winner of a National SPJ Mark of Excellence Award in the Audio/Podcast (Narrative) category.
Pagel produced Breaking the Bank: Unpacking Gen Z’s Financial Insecurity last fall in her JAMS 325: Audio Storytelling class. The narrative podcast category honors revealing, long-form stories with a range of interviews and sophisticated writing & editing.
National SPJ winners competed against the best student work from 12 regions. Pagel joins students from Harvard, Stanford, Brown, Northwestern, Missouri and many more top schools and journalism programs.
Also, in the same national contest, the JAMS 502: Immersive Journalism Experience class project, “Beyond the Barricades,” was named a national finalist for general news reporting. The other two winners in that category were from Harvard and Stanford universities.
Please join us in congratulating Grace Pagel on this incredible honor!
