 Barbara Jordan Media Award winners<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year’s winners of the Barbara Jordan Media Awards have really raised the bar of excellence; we saw some incredible entries come from the submissions –<\/p>\n

stories from professionals (and students) that meet the highest criteria of accurately and positively reporting on individuals with disabilities, using People First language and respectful depictions.<\/p>\n

You can read more about the Barbara Jordan Media Awards and the Awards Ceremony on our website. For individual tickets ($25, or $15 for UT students) or sponsorship packages (various levels), contact Jennifer Wang at jenniferwang@austin.utexas.edu or 512-475-6064. We hope you can join us in honoring the winners and letting them know what a significant difference their professional approach will make in our communities.<\/p>\n

Here are the winners whose pieces from 2010 will be honored at our ceremony on Saturday, April 16, 6:00pm, at the San Jacinto Center on the University of Texas campus in Austin. Our keynote speaker will be Max Sherman, Dean Emeritus of the LBJ School of Public Affairs (and a personal friend of Barbara Jordan) and our emcee will be Mary Gordon Spence, local commentator and public speaker. We hope to see you there!<\/p>\n
