THE NEWS AWARDS BURSARY
TO PR STUDENT
Jermaine Young, a 22-year-old second-year student at the Caribbean Institute of Media Communication (CARIMAC) at the University of the West Indies, has been awarded The News bursary for the 2010/2011 academic year.
The $40,000 bursary was granted to the former captain of the Rusea's High School's School Challenge team, to mark the 24th Anniversary of the News, which began publication on October 16, 1986. In making the award, Managing Editor of the News, Ben Bridie, congratulated Young on being the student selected for the honour and encouraged him to make the most of his good fortune.
He said that the News had been established 24 years ago on the premise that the profession of journalism was a vital element in the development process of Jamaica and indeed of any country, and that this bursary underlined The News' faith in that belief.
"Make the best of it; and above all, keep your focus on national development rather than personal success. The success will come with hard work and dedication to the profession," he advised.
For his part, Young thanked the fortnightly newspaper for its gesture and promised to make the organisation proud.
He will be mastering in Public Relations
