John C. Hartsock, Communication Studies Department, has had a scholarly award established in his name by the International Association for Literary Journalism Studies. The award, the “John C. Hartsock Award for Best Article in Literary Journalism Studies,” was established by the association at their last international conference held at King’s College in Halifax, Nova Scotia in May. The award is given for the best article appearing in the association’s blind-reviewed journal, Literary Journalism Studies, for the previous publication year. Hartsock was the founding editor of the journal in spring 2009 and guided it for the first five years of publication. He has been invited to give the award next May at the association’s annual conference to be held at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna.
