Demkovich named Indiana collegiate journalist of the year
Media School senior Laurel Demkovich was recognized as the top collegiate journalist in the state, and the Indiana Daily Student and Arbutus yearbook took top honors in the Indiana Collegiate Press Association’s annual competition this weekend.
The IDS was named Division I Newspaper of the Year, Advertising Publication of the Year and Online Publication of the Year. The Arbutus was named Yearbook of the Year.
Demkovich is the 11th IU student to be honored with the Brook Baker Student Journalist of the Year Award since its inception in 1999. Among the stories entered with Demkovich’s nomination were two longform pieces published in the IDS: “Eminent domain” and “The pride of Paoli.”
“(Demkovich’s) curiosity about the lives of others is apparent; her deep interviews make each of her stories memorable,” wrote judge Lynne Perri, journalist-in-residence at the School of Communication at American University and editor of the Investigative Reporting Workshop. “It’s clear to the reader that she spent time with people, and that she really listened to what they had to say.”
The IDS and Arbutus took home 88 individual awards for excellence. The top organization of the year awards are given for the highest accumulated point totals from the first, second and third place individual awards in each category.
