Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Tommie Media (University of St. Thomas) Entry Title: Navigating handicap accessibility at St. Thomas Entry Credit: Noah Brown, Emily Sweeney Judge Comment: This was an excellent explanation of the issue of trying to navigate campus as an other-abled person. The straightforward talk of the student, the comparisons to a person who can walk, and the background of the issue all meshed well for a compelling story.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Manitou Messenger (St. Olaf) Entry Title: A look into the St. Olaf climate strike Entry Credit: Claire Strother Judge Comment: Very good overview of the issue of climate change, against the backdrop of the protest. Good presentation. Be careful of the sound in the future -- mics are still needed so that speakers don't sound like they are in a tunnel
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: University Chronicle (SCSU) Entry Title: Future of St. Cloud’s Gateway Motel in jeopardy Entry Credit: Tony Langfellow Judge Comment: Interesting reporting of a topic that is not directly connected to campus, but that students will be interested in. Good background on the topic of redevelopment, and how land use decisions are made.
Competition Comment: Each entry used multiple ways in which to tell the story, and each medium enhanced the story. Excllent presentation of a variety of topics for your audiences.
