‘Excellence in Journalism’ winners named


The winners were named during the Baptist Press Collegiate Journalism Conference Oct. 9-11 in Nashville, Tenn.

Additionally, the annual President’s Award, the highest honor of the journalism competition with a $1,000 scholarship, was won by Katherine Kipp, a senior at Union University and co-managing editor of the Cardinal & Cream student newspaper at the Jackson, Tenn., campus.

Kipp’s entry was highlighted by her intern work at Baptist Press’ Washington bureau while enrolled for a semester of studies with the Washington Journalism Program of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities.
