AEJMC Champions of Editing Linda Shockley Award for Excellence in Teaching
Dr. Deborah Gump launched the Champions of Editing, formerly known as the Breakfast of Editing Champions, about 20 years ago. In the spirit of celebrating excellence in teaching editing, the Champions of Editing offers a teaching prize open to AEJMC members from all divisions, interest groups, etc. The prize is named for Linda Shockley, former managing director of the Dow Jones News Fund, for her commitment to advancing the careers of young professionals and longtime support of the Champions of Editing.
