'The Source' Receives First-Place Honors

The Source, the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford’s student newspaper has earned a first-place award in the American Scholastic Press Association national competition.

This is the second year in a row that the newspaper has been awarded first place. The Source received a second-place honor in 2008.

The association judges critiqued editions from the fall term.

“Another first-place award is evidence that the staff of writers and photographers has committed itself to journalism excellence,” said Alex Davis, Source editor for the 2009-10 academic year.

Tim Ziaukus, associate professor of public relations and faculty adviser, said, “The Source staff members have been working especially hard for the past few semesters, and this recognition underscores their efforts and their ongoing improvements.”

In addition to Davis, a public relations major from Emporium, members of the editorial staff are managing editor Lesley Bickford, a public relations major from Emporium; sports editor Maria Costanza, a public relations major from Pittsburgh; editorial assistant John “Jack” Eggleston, a writing major from Warren; chief photographer Josh Gray, a broadcast communications major from St. Charles, Ill.; and business manager Zachary Karenchak, a history/political science major from St. Marys.

Staff reporters were Stephen Abplanalp, a writing major from Warren; Chelsea Boyles, a public relations major from Erie; Sarah Dorben, a writing major from North East; Shawna Hardy, a public relations major from Wampum; Danielle Little, a public relations major from Sunbury; Gerry Vogt, a public relations major from St. Marys; and Latdior Williams, a public relations major from Newark, Del.
