On Monday, March 3, three members of the Peabody Press staff were named as finalists for recognition by the Tennessee High School Press Association.
Congratulations are in order for:
Henry Knowles '26, who won first place for three articles:
-Best News Story, for his coverage of the first solo art show of Eliana Gorden ‘24
-Best Review, for his review of Deadpool & Wolverine
-Best Column, for his opinion piece about the state of American youth soccer.
Carmen Gaskin '25, who won second place for Best Review, for her review of Tyler the Creator’s CHROMOKOPIA album.
Bronson Schmidt '25, who won second place for Best Headline, for his column headlined “AP Courses Make Students College Bored.”Carmen Gaskin '25, who won second place for Best Review, for her review of Tyler the Creator’s CHROMOKOPIA album.
The featured speaker at the THSPA Awards this year was Nashville photographer Daniel Meigs who has done freelance work and work for The Nashville Scene and Nfocus Magazine (and whose photo of USN alumna Hunter Claire Rogers ’07 we walk by each morning on the way into the building, on our Alumni Office bulletin board!). Meigs shared his experience of building a career and a professional network from scratch, learning from other professionals, and using our storytelling tools to create pathos and human connection with our audiences.
We are still awaiting feedback on the overall publication and our critique, but the THSPA Awards experience always gives us things to think about and work on for the future, and we'll look forward to putting this action.
And as always, any reader responses, corrections, feedback, or comments are appreciated. Anyone can submit an idea to write a guest column/feature/article, or submit a news tip on something you think needs to be covered by our staff.
