Two Elizabethtown College Communications students were recently awarded Student Keystone Media Awards<\/a> in the Best Feature (Broadcast) category by the Pennsylvania News Media Association.<\/p>\n

Digital Media Production major Layla Murphy \u201925 won second place for her broadcast news package,\u201cPlays in a Day<\/a>.\u201d Journalism major Faith Morrow \u201924 won an honorable mention for her broadcast news package, \u201cPumpkin Fest Raises Money for Nonprofit<\/a>,\u201d marking the second straight year that Morrow was recognized<\/a> for her work.<\/p>\n

\u201cFaith and Layla are both outstanding students who produce outstanding work,\u201d Elizabethtown College Professor of Communications, Dr. Kirsten Johnson said. \u201cI\u2019m so happy that their hard work and talent were recognized by the Keystone Media Award judges. They both have bright futures ahead and I\u2019m very proud of them!\u201d<\/p>\n

Murphy\u2019s news package centered around the Plays in a Day production, put on by Etown\u2019s Sock & Buskin theatre club. The event requires student plays to be written and executed within 24 hours. Murphy stayed throughout auditions on Friday night, rehearsals on Saturday afternoon, and the final performances on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take a lot of time and consideration into every video or audio piece I make, whether it\u2019s for class or an extracurricular like ECTV,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cNo matter how small or short a video might seem, I always give it my all when working on it so being awarded for my work is a great honor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murphy\u2019s piece was created for Elizabethtown College Adjunct Professor Ali Lanyon\u2019s COM 316: Broadcast News course.<\/p>\n

Morrow\u2019s news package showcased the Middletown Home Pumpkin Fest, an annual festival that raises funds for Middletown Home, a nonprofit assisted living facility. Morrow covered a range of activities, including live music, tractor rides, food trucks, and children\u2019s games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m appreciative of Dr. Johnson\u2019s encouragement to turn in a submission again this year,\u201d Morrow said. \u201cShe taught me what it takes to make an excellent package.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morrow\u2019s piece was created for Elizabethtown College Professor of Communication Dr. Tamara Gillis\u2019 Com 485: Communications Capstone course.<\/p>\n

The Student Keystone Media Awards recognize excellence in high school and college student journalism. Students who have their work published in their school media, such as newspapers or digital news sites, are eligible to enter. Murphy and Morrow will be honored at an awards luncheon on Thursday, April 11 at WITF\u2019s Public Media Center in Harrisburg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
