student claims Hearst award
 |
Lisa Hornstein |
A photojournalism
major from the J-school claimed 15th place in the latest round
of the Hearst
Photojournalism Competition
.
Senior Lisa Hornstein was recognized for her work in the
Sports and News Category and will be awarded a Certificate
of Merit.
“It’s a pretty big honor, because it’s like the college Pulitzer,” Hornstein
said. “It’s fun to be able to say that you’re a Hearst
finalist.”
Hornstein is a senior from Missoula who will graduate in May with a degree
in photojournalism.
The Hearst awards are sponsored by the William Randolph Hearst Foundation
in conjunction with the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication
(ASJMC). The contests allow the nation’s best students in print,
photo and broadcast journalism to compete for scholarships and money.

Lundstad answers a question from Sarah Hubburd during a
mock-press conference in the
Spring
2004 Reporting for Broadcast. Lunstad is the news director
for KPAX and a UM Journalism School alum. |
Joel
Lundstad, the news director of a Missoula television station,
is teaching Journalism 280 — Reporting for Broadcast — this semester
for the School of Journalism.
“He is really good at taking beginning reporters and helping them evolve,
get better and move into a bigger market,” said Ray Ekness, head of the
broadcast department. “Hopefully he can do that with our students too.”
Lundstad, 43, a 1984 University of Montana J- School graduate, has
been working for KPAX since May of last year. He taught at UM in the
1997-’98 school
year and is happy to be back.
“It’s a nice change from the day-to-day newsroom,” he said.
Lundstad worked at news stations in Great Falls, Billings and Bend, Ore., before
coming to Missoula. He has been a news director since 1990.
“When I taught in ‘97-’98 it was a real challenge for me trying
to take what I know to the classroom,” he said. His first experience
teaching helped him when he went back to the newsroom and he expects this
to be just as
beneficial.
Lundstad said it would be nice to make a permanent transition to the
classroom at some point but he doesn’t plan to leave the newsroom any time soon.
