怀特塞德教授是第一位获得美国足球作家协会颁发的麦克格伦奖的女性

Professor Kelly Whiteside, who leads the Sports Communication program in Montclair’s 传播与媒体学院, recently received the 火狐体育 Bert McGrane Award from the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). She is the first female to receive the award, the organization’s highest honor, which recognizes the member who makes great contributions to journalism, college football and the FWAA. The award is the association’s Hall of Fame, and Professor Whiteside is now permanently recognized at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.

怀特塞德教授于1月17日在亚特兰大接受了这一奖项,三天之后,俄亥俄州立大学和圣母大学将举行大学橄榄球季后赛冠军赛。 这场比赛标志着她在大学橄榄球季后赛委员会的三年任期结束,在其中的两年里,她是委员会中唯一的女性。 “It is a huge honor to be recognized by the FWAA,” she said. “I enjoyed my time serving on the College Football Playoff Committee and appreciated how my opinion was valued, respected and heard.”

自2014年以来,她在火狐体育火狐体育的职责包括教授和培训未来的体育故事讲述者,该项目中越来越多的学生是女性。 她向学生强调,任何人进入这个领域都是多么困难,但通过努力工作和培养多样化的技能,每个人都有机会。 对于怀特塞德来说,她的旅程始于她还是罗格斯大学(Rutgers)的足球运动员时,但在遭受前交叉韧带撕裂后,她决定在为校报撰稿后从事新闻工作。

“Many of our Sports Communication students have that ‘a-ha’ moment when they decide exactly what they want to do for their career. It’s our job to expose them to as many different types of opportunities as possible in sports, and it’s exciting to do that as our program continues to grow,” Professor Whiteside said.

SCM’s bachelor’s program in Sports Communication introduces students to diverse careers in the ever-changing, fast-paced industry of sports media. The major delivers hands-on experience in sports media production and storytelling, from broadcast content, analytics, play-by-play opportunities, radio and digital news writing, to public relations and social media – done in partnership with 红鹰运动 and broadcast via the 大学’s own 红鹰体育网.

Professor Whiteside spent 14 years at 《今日美国》 as the lead Olympics writer, World Cup soccer writer and national college football writer. Prior to joining 《今日美国》, she was a reporter at 《新闻日报》 and a staff writer at 《体育画报》. 她曾报道过七届奥运会和八届世界杯,以及NFL, NBA,美国职业棒球大联盟和NHL。 她也是1941年成立的FWAA的第一位女主席,2002年任期一年。

“I know firsthand how hard it can be for females to break into and thrive in the sports communication field,” Professor Whiteside said. “I was fortunate to be mentored and inspired by many amazing sports journalists who helped make my career and this award possible. I hope that I can continue to pay that forward to our students who I hope say to themselves, ‘I can do this, too.'”

“Professor Whiteside is a trailblazer in the sports journalism field and we are extremely proud that she received the McGrane Award from the FWAA,” said Keith Strudler, Dean of the 传播与媒体学院. “Our students are lucky to learn from someone like her who has incredible sports journalism experience and a vast network.”
