A collaboration between WUKY News and the Lamplighter, the student newspaper at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School has garnered a national award.
Torch – a serial-style podcast launched by PLD journalism students with technical support from WUKY News Director Alan Lytle, was named multimedia feature story of the year by The Scholastic Press Association, in conjunction with the Journalism Education Association. The audio and video series on teens and driving was the brainchild of PLD teacher and journalism adviser Wendy Turner, and staff editor Pam Stravitz, now a freshman at Northeastern University in Boston. Torch represents an ongoing collaboration between WUKY News and the school.
