NIC Sentinel student wins first place for article

A North Idaho College Sentinel student won first place for her news story about the wave of student protests following the Parkland High School shooting last fall. The Sentinel is North Idaho College’s student-run news organization.

Kaya Sedlmayer-Nardi, from Coeur d'Alene, won the Idaho Press Club’s award in the student division for best General News Story for “Nationwide Protest Hits Home,” originally published in the spring of 2018. She attended a walkout held at Coeur d’Alene High School on March 14 and reported on the roughly 150 students who protested gun violence in schools.

“She did a great job covering the event, and I’m glad she was recognized,” Sentinel adviser Geoff Carr said.

Two Boise State University students claimed second and third place in the same category.
