Congratulations Scott Barnes!
The Communication Department is pleased to announce that Scott Barnes, a junior broadcast journalism major, has been selected as the next editor of ChicagoTalks, the non-profit local news source founded in 2006 by Professor Emeritus Barbara Iverson and Professor Suzanne McBride, the department chair. Scott succeeds Connor Carynski, who assisted with the redesign of the site during the summer and did an excellent job as editor in the fall. Connor is graduating at the end of the semester and we wish him the best. Scott came to Columbia this fall from Parkland College where he was a staff writer and editor for The Prospectus. He'll now be applying those editing skills to ChicagoTalks, where he will also serve as a writing coach and mentor to students. In addition to journalism, Scott studied international communication, intercultural competency and the Spanish language at the International College of Seville in Spain.

Brownlee Scholarship: Deadline - April 1, 2018
The Chicago Headline Club and the Chicago Headline Club Foundation awards a $5,000 scholarship honoring Les Brownlee to a Chicago-area journalism student each year. Brownlee, who died in 2005, was the first African-American member of the Society of Professional Journalists and the first African-American president of the Chicago Headline Club. Brownlee’s journalism career began as a reporter for Ebony Magazine, followed by the Chicago Defender. In 1950, he was the first black reporter to join the staff of the Chicago Daily News. Over the years he also worked for several radio stations, including WBBM, and television stations including WLS-TV, where in 1975 he won an Emmy Award for editorial writing. After he retired from television, he joined the faculty of Columbia College Chicago, where he taught journalism full-time for more than 20 years and inspired countless students. Applicants for the Brownlee Scholarship must be a current undergraduate journalism student (no recent graduates) at a Chicago-area college. Candidates are assessed by a committee of the Headline Club Foundation and evaluated on their previous experience, clips, cover letter and an interest in pursuing a career in journalism. Candidates should send resumes and at least three work samples along with a cover letter to Dann Gire at [email protected]. The deadline for filing an application is April 1, 2018.
