Now that my move to Utah is a week away, it's starting to feel real. In January I'll be starting at the Deseret News as a photography intern. This is my first time heading out west and I am excited for the adventure and challenge!

Congratulations to everyone, especially
@TorrezDevin
! It feels great to be recognized, but I know we aren't doing the work to win awards. It's thrilling to see how we all are connecting with communities and working to make stories and information accessible to everyone
Annie Barker, a Dec. 2022 J-school graduate, has placed first in the Photojournalism News and Features Competition of the prestigious Hearst Journalism Awards Program. Journalism senior Devin Anderson-Torrez was awarded sixth place in the competition.
Congrats, Annie and Devin!

Can't believe it's been almost 2 years since I got to meet Justice, and WeRateDogs shared a few of my photos :) time flies 🐶🥕🥜
This is Justice. She was supposed to be a leader dog for the blind, but never mastered stairs. Now she works in MSU’s Sexual Assault Program, offering support and providing a smile where few are found. I’m told she likes peanut butter and carrots, and she’s our sixth ever 15/10

Someone needs to tell the Tik Tokers that the “journalism aesthetic” isn’t blazers, cute coffees and high heels.

It's fun to personify/describe your friends as moments/emotions and I suggest you give it a go :)
Alyte is like one of those film montages where you see people running in slow motion looking back smiling where their hair flys around
I’m officially only describing people as little scenes or experiences. For example,
@AnnaleighBarker
is when you accidentally find a beautiful park in a new city in the summer and you lay down in the soft grass to look at the clouds. (Credit to Annie for this idea)
