‘Divided Families,’ featuring stories by yours truly, wins int’l reporting award
The Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights announced Monday that "Divided Families," the Cronkite School's in-depth reporting project that I worked on in fall 2007, has won the collegiate print-division RFK Journalism Award for 2009.
Needless to say, being part of a reporting team that's been recognized with an international award is a tremendous honor. (I think the double-internationality of winning an international award for an international reporting project even outdoes my international modeling career.)
Anyway, you may remember my fleeting references to my work on the project from that fall, but if you never took a look at the final product of our in-depth reporting class, you can check out the printed-book version or browse the online presentation of our work that won an award of its own.
Or if that all seems like an information overload, you can click below to check out the two stories I contributed to the project, along with Ryan Ruiz's photos of the Zavala family from Somerton, Ariz.:
