About The Man
& The Prize
So, who was Roy W. Howard?
He led United Press International and Scripps Howard
Newspapers during a journalism career that spanned nearly six
decades. He was so revered by fellow journalists that in 1955,
at age 72, the Society of Professional Journalists named him
honorary president. At the time of his death in 1964, then US.
president Lyndon B. Johnson said he was “already a legend in his
profession” and predicted he would be remembered in history
as one of journalism’s commanding figures.
Why the international collegiate reporting
award in his honort Roy Howard lived a global life well
before most journalism schools taught about international
reporting. He traveled and worked in Asia, and had a great affinity for
Japan, Korea and China. Howard corresponded with presidents about
US. policy in Asia, and records at the presidential libraries show that
‘they took his insight seriously.
Why is the prize an international study experience?
‘An international study perspective is essential for journalists who
cover politics, business, war, immigration issues and their own diverse
communities. We have in Bradley J. Hamm, dean of the journalism
school at Indiana University,a uniquely qualified leader for this trip.
He is not only a gifted instructor, but also a Roy W. Howard scholar
‘who has extensive travel experience throughout Asia.
Why the trip to Japan? Few American journalism students today have
any experience in Asia. Even for the nearly 200,000 American students who
study abroad each year, only about seven percent select a country in Asia.
Meanwhile, Japan has the largest circulation newspapers in the world and a
new media world is emerging with incredible technology.
This is an expenses-paid trip, right? What are
my responsibilities? Your travel, lodging and meal expenses
will be covered, as well as the costs associated with tours, certain activities
and performances. You will be required to sign a waiver of
liability and have the required travel documents (i. passport,
‘which must be obtained prior to the trip). A winner unable
‘to make the trip will forfeit any and all prizes associated with
the competition, and the award will be presented to the next
runner-up== SCRIPPS HOWARD
