A Charles Sturt University (CSU) journalism student has won an award from the Australian Press Council (APC) for ‘outstanding achievement in a subject related to the objects of the Council’. Lecturer in journalism at the CSU School of Communication, Mr Chris McGillion, said that what makes Ms Stephanie Boulet’s APC Prize unusual is that she is a third-year broadcast student, not a print student. “Stephanie was nominated by journalism staff at the School of Communication on the basis of her outstanding academic transcripts and an essay she wrote concerning the ethics of covering Aboriginal issues,” Mr McGillion said. “The Press Council accepted my recommendation even though she is a broadcast major because of the importance of ethics and journalism. This award to a broadcast student demonstrates, in a sense, the APC's appreciation of the continuing merging of traditional print and broadcast media, and how ethical journalism underpins both." Ms Boulet, who is from Castle Hill in Sydney, will be presented with a certificate and a cheque for $300 from the APC by Head of the School of Communication, Mr Rod McCulloch, on Tuesday 21 October.
