Newhouse student takes fourth place in Hearst Feature Writing competition
Magazine, news and digital journalism senior Eleanor Quarles took fourth place in the Hearst Journalism Awards Program Feature Writing competition with a piece she wrote for her magazine article writing class last spring.
“My article was about a Facebook group in my small hometown that got really toxic, and how it affected the community and how people in town treat each other,” Quarles says. “I’d been a member of the group since high school and had seen a lot of interesting (and usually concerning) interactions, so I thought it would be really interesting to do a deep dive into the group.”
Quarles will receive $1,000 and qualifies for the National Writing Championship in May.
