Faculty member Tim Broekema and former WKU student Mark Osler worked together during the Democratic National Convention in the fall of 2008 telling stories for AARP Bulletin Today.
Osler gathered content in Denver and transmitted his pictures and audio back to WKU where Broekema worked on deadline overnight producing multi-media projects that were posted on the AARP web site within hours after the close of each nights activities.
This particular project was noticed by the judges at the NPPA BOP contest and was awarded a 2nd place in the “Unde” category for audio slide shows that documented the road to the White House.
