Graduates of the University of Kentucky fill prestigious media positions all over the country and have won just about every sports media award ever given.

A national media buzz that started in fall paused for a stop at the School of Journalism and Media during Black History Month to celebrate the life and hall-of-fame career of Alice Allison Dunnigan, the daughter of a Kentucky sharecropper who pawned her watch to make ends meet on her way to becoming the first African-American woman to receive press credentials to cover the White House and Congress. Students and faculty attended events surrounding a life-sized statue of Dunnigan that was on display for three weeks in the lobby of the W.T. Young Library.

Film and Future

Thanks to Assistant Professor David Stephenson, students in the Spring 2019 semester will learn about journalism old school in a film series and new school through lessons in immersive journalism, which puts the audience in the story. The film series opens Jan. 31 with "Spotlight" and ends April 5 with "Good Night, and Good Luck."
