See the link below. From the article:

”UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — With strong efforts in each of five monthly competitions, Penn State has claimed first place in the yearlong Intercollegiate Writing Competition conducted as part of the William Randolph Hearst Foundation’s Journalism Awards program, often referred to as “the Pulitzers of college journalism.”

Penn State’s top individual finishers included a third-place finish by Anjelica Singer in features, and second and fifth place, respectively, for Jade Campos and Rory Pelella in explanatory writing. Additional monthly competitions focused on sports, personality/profile and investigative reporting, with Jillian Wesner, Caitlyn Garrity and Max Ralph all writing stories that scored in the top 10.

Behind Penn State in the top five were North Carolina, Indiana, Florida and Missouri. The top three intercollegiate winners earn $10,000, $4,000 and $2,000, respectively.”


And,

”Penn State has the highest average overall finish in the Hearst competition of any school in the Big Ten Conference and any school in the Northeast during the past decade and a half.”


F*ck us.

Congrats to students but we know what it takes to get a Pulitzer. Not much.

Weird to not see journalism powerhouses like Northwestern and Syracuse nowhere on this list (unless I missed something)…also, no Ivies.
