Grace Hamilton, JEA Student Journalist of the Year

On this episode, we’re joined by Grace Hamilton. Grace is an incoming freshman at Columbia University. She was the 2022-23 Journalism Education Association Student Journalist of the Year after completing her studies at the American School of London.

Grace talked about how her passion for journalism developed, the award-winning piece she wrote exploring sexual harassment at her school, a story she wrote about meeting young women at a Syrian refugee camp, how she evolved as an editor-in-chief, and her aspirations for the future.

We also heard from Louisa Avery, journalism teacher at the American School of London, who talked about Grace’s development, and the importance of the Journalism Education Association.
