Kyle Clayton won first place in the 54th annual William Randolph Hearst Journalism Awards Program, often called the “Pulitzer Prize of College Journalism.”
Clayton’s article is a first person account of his time spent as a medic in the army and Iraq and his transition into life as a college student. The article, ‘The only way to hold on’, was published in the Indiana Daily Student last summer just before he moved to Alaska and began working for the Pilot.
A record 148 entries were entered into this year’s awards program, in which 105 undergraduate journalism programs at universities across the nation are eligible to participate.
Judging the writing competitions this year were: Marty Kaiser, Editor and Senior Vice President, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; Mike Leary, Senior Vice President and Editor, San Antonio Express-News; and John Temple, Senior Fellow, John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships Program, Stanford University, CA.
