Lily McInerney, a senior journalism major with a multidisciplinary cultural analysis concentration, placed seventh in the nation in a recent Hearst Journalism Awards competition.
McInerney placed in the multimedia category for a story that she began working on in January 2023. Humanity behind History tells the story of a 92-year-old Holocaust survivor and how she came to terms with and shared her experiences. The piece goes beyond the term survivor and seeks to humanize subjects by explaining the interests and hobbies of those who suffered deeply.
