✨ News Release – American Scholarly Genius Award Announcement

For this project, I wrote an announcement-style news release to recognize a fictional partner winning the national American Scholarly Genius Award hosted by USA Today. I conducted an interview, crafted a compelling lead, included professional quotes, and structured the release in AP style for a university audience. This assignment strengthened my skills in writing concise, newsworthy releases that highlight accomplishments while maintaining a professional journalistic tone.
