Student Media Adviser, College of Communication and Information at University of Kentucky
With the organizational Pinnacle announced, the Kentucky Kernel and KRNL magazine now have 33 national finalists. It is the highest mark so far in this national contest since I've been at UK. On the organizational level, the KRNL is up for best feature magazine for the second year in a row and the Kernel is up for best online organization and (it was a shock to us, too) best TV station for our new multimedia programing. Also, the Kernel Media is up for Media Group of the Year. I'm very proud and kudos to both staffs and last year's editors Hannah Stanley and Emma Reilly. The other national contest, the Pacemakers, haven't been announced yet, but I'm going to have to charter a Greyhound bus to get all these kids to New Orleans in November for the national convention! Thanks to Dean Jennifer Greer and the CI college for their support and guidance and the Kentucky Kernel Board of Directors for their guidance and advice.
