Yvonne Latty, director the Logan Center, is this year’s recipient of AEJMC’s Gene Burd Award for Excellence in Urban Journalism. The purpose of the Urban Journalism Award is to reward and thereby improve the practice and study of journalism in the urban environment by recognizing high-quality urban media reporting, critical analysis, and research relevant to that content and its communication about city problems, programs, policies, and public priorities in urban life and culture.
