CJC Student Honored at AJHA Southeast Symposium

University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications Telecommunication senior Mackenzie Bryan was honored for the best undergraduate paper at the 2019 American Journalism Historians Association (AJHA) Southeast Symposium.

Bryan’s winning paper, “How the Media Shaped the Political and Racial Narratives of the Louis vs. Schmeling Rematch,” was one of six recognized with awards. The Southeast Symposium, the annual meeting of scholars from institutions in this region, was held on Feb. 1-2 in Panama City Beach, Florida.

The Southeast Symposium was developed by founding members of AJHA in the 1980s as a means of offering graduate and undergraduate students and opportunity to present their original media history research. At the 2019 event, 22 students representing six schools presented their original research.
