At the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, we’re very proud of two of our Journalism students, both of whom have been nominated for Student Journalist of the Year in the prestigious Kennedy Awards. 

The Kennedy Awards are Australia’s richest journalism awards and will be announced on August 18 at the Foundation’s gala awards event to be held in the ballroom of the Royal Randwick. 

Our two finalists in the new category of Student Journalist of the Year are Eve Cogan and Zara Powell, who have been short-listed out of students from all over the country.

Eve Cogan 2021 Headshot by Maxwell Aldred

"I'm Eve – a Greek Australian journalist and multi-media producer, finishing my last year of Communications and Transdisciplinary Innovation (BCII) at UTS. I am passionate about science, technology and environmentalism. From electrification to artificial intelligence, the topics in our news cycle are more complex to explain than ever before and more vital for populations to understand, which is why I've explored them as a student journalist. I've worked with The School of New York Times, The Conversation and The Sunday Telegraph. Currently, I work for ABC News Channel and love contributing to Central News."

Get in touch with Eve on LinkedIn and at her website.
