Editorial: SPJ chapter wins national award
Sep. 14, 2014We would like to congratulate our peers in Ohio University’s Society of Professional Journalists chapter, who took home National Campus Chapter of the Year earlier this month at the SPJ’s Excellence in Journalism conference in Nashville, Tennessee.Although we did not cover the news with a story — we often shy away from covering news about our E.W. Scripps School of Journalism colleagues — the honor is a testament to the talent trained at OU. It’s also a big deal for the journalism school because national recognition such as this helps recruit talented high school students interested in breaking into the journalism field.“Ohio University’s chapter was chosen because of its efforts to well-conceive and organize nearly 24 events paired with multiple other media-oriented campus groups, effectively use its social media outlets, creatively utilize Skype for ‘virtual visits’ and efficiently serve its student body with professional-grade programming,” according to a news release on SPJ’s website.One such event involved Gregory Moore, the editor of The Denver Post, who was able to visit our newsroom last year and speak with those pursuing reporting jobs. We would not have been able to make the connection without the help of SPJ.Full disclosure: some of our co-workers and colleagues are SPJ members. Lindsay Friedman, our Digital Editor, is the organization’s special events coordinator and former president.SPJ has set a high standard that all student organizations should strive for. We commend its leaders for their efforts. Editorials represent the majority of The Post’s executive editors.
