| TV-10 Wins Broadcasters Association Honors Students from Illinois State University’s TV-10 News have won two scholarships and five awards from the Illinois News Broadcasters Association. Senior Christy Stelzer and junior Jacob Long won two of the four scholarships INBA offers each year. The $1100 awards are highly competitive, with applicants from nine Illinois colleges and universities. TV-10 students won five awards, including three first places, in the Student-Illinois News Broadcasters Association (S-INBA) competition. First Place in the Outstanding Hard TV Program category went to a TV-10 News Special Report “The 33rd Comes Home.” Produced by Jacob Long, the show featured the work of seniors Peter VanderHye, Paula Reed, Blake Long, Sang-hee Lee and Cody McClellan, junior Andrew Barra, and December graduates Pat Brown, Erin Lawson and Adam Rahn, on the day the 33rd Military Police Battalion returned from duty in Iraq. This is the fourth consecutive year TV-10 has claimed first place in this category. TV-10 also earned First Place in the Outstanding Soft TV Program category for “Hollywood Corner,” a weekly movie-themed program. The winning episode featured the life and career of James Dean, including a trip to Dean’s boyhood home in Indiana. The show is produced, hosted and edited by senior Jeff Conway, with contributions from seniors Diana Salmonson and Jessica Todd. A First Place award also went to junior Dan Coad in the Outstanding Videography category. His winning entry featured several pieces of his work, including a photo-essay on a wood-turner. Honorable Mentions were earned by senior Christy Stelzer in the category of Outstanding News Reporting and senior Kyle Anderson for Outstanding Use of Sound.
