CNN & NABJ have announced the winner to the Campus iReporter contest. Below is an excerpt from the press release and the winning iReport.
CNN, together with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), announced that Travers Johnson, a senior from Morehouse College in Atlanta, is the grand prize winner of CNN’s “Campus iReporter” contest. The contest ran in association with a tour of eight historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to promote CNN’s Black in America multiplatform programming initiative.
Johnson won a trip for two to the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans over the Fourth of July weekend for “To Be Young, Gifted and Black in America,” an iReport about whether it is a good time to be young and black in America.. His iReport was submitted through www.iReport.com, CNN’s first uncensored, unfiltered, unedited, user-generated community Web site.
More than 11,500 students from eight HBCUs participated in the tour, which included Florida A&M, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina A&T, Hampton University, Howard University and the Atlanta University Center, which includes Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse and Spelman Colleges.
As part of the “Campus iReporter” contest, students from each school shared their firsthand accounts of the black experience through video, photo, audio or text submissions. NABJ chose one “Campus iReporter” from each school to win a digital video camera. Those winners were then eligible to submit additional footage to compete for the grand prize, also chosen by NABJ.
Reports about Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton's secret meeting last week caught Jon Stewart's attention & this was his response to CNN's coverage. (Brianna Keilar is featured in the clip.)
On Tuesday's CNN NewsRoom, we got to see her reaction to The Daily Show clip.
Thanks to Phebe & Cyn for the clips!
VMan.com recently did an interview with CNN's Rob Marciano. Below are a few of the great photographs and an excerpt from the article. To view the full interview, visit VMan.com.
How did you get into meteorology?
I've been a lifelong weather geek. I would drive my parents crazy. I knew exactly when every weather guy was on every channel, and I would switch back and forth trying to get them all. I learned early on that meteorology isn't an exact science—telling your teacher you didn't do your homework because the weatherman said it was going to snow doesn't really work.

Do you consider yourself more of a scientist or a journalist?
I studied meteorology in college at Cornell and struggled through all the math and physics prerequisites. When I'm not reporting on stories now, I'm getting the facts right, making sure everything is triple- and quadruple-checked. But in the end, we're telling stories on TV. I wouldn't go so far as to call it an art, but it's definitely a craft.

How did you decide you wanted to do weather in front of the camera?
I did a cost-benefit analysis—no, kidding. What I get to do, which my colleagues in science and governmental agencies don't, is have fun. It is fun to get on TV.
