CoJMC News

Eight in the morning is not a favorite start time for most college students. However, the chance to video chat with peers halfway across the world has spurred Huskers enrolled in the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s “Global News in the Age of Social Media” class.

 CoJMC's Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) advisor, Jemalyn Griffin, has worked with the chapter for less than three years and has accomplished major strides for the group. It's no suprise that she earned the title of Outstanding New Advisor from UNL Student Involvement's annual Student Impact Awards. Look here to read the PRSSA Exec team's personal thank you notes to Jemalyn.

UNL’S Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) Club kicked off its new campaign #SpreadHopeNotFear with the hope of helping people get through this time of such extreme change. Their goal is to offer others something to look forward to each day and give them a sense of normalcy.

A student, faculty member and alum from CoJMC are working together on a project covering the COVID-19 crisis for The New York Times. These data journalists are gathering deaths related to the coronavirus from every county in the U.S. The hope for this data is that it becomes a public good to inform policy makers and researchers to help them understand what happened, what is happening and what they can do to help make sure this doesn't happen again.

The National Broadcasting Society (NBS) held its 78th annual National Undergraduate Student Electronic Media Competition on Saturday, March 14th in Burbank, California, and four College of Journalism and Mass Communications students won grand prize trophies.

Junior Advertising and Public Relations and Graphic Design double major, Destiney Chitrodom decided to add ADPR onto her studies at the beginning of her sophomore year. 

“I always knew I wanted to incorporate my design knowledge into something even bigger, and I heard so many great things about CoJMC from my peers and professors.”

Senior broadcasting and sports media and communications double major Allie Snow entered two radio projects from a course taught by Professor Barney McCoy into the Hearst Media Competition on a whim.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Journalism and Mass Communications was well represented at the 2020 ADDY Awards, sponsored by AAF Omaha.
