\"os-orlando-police-department-use-of-force-20151106\"When it comes to media awards, two of the biggest were handed out this past week. And students from the Nicholson School of Communication were right in the middle as part of two award-winning teams at the Emmys and the Online News Association.<\/p>\n

Four NSC journalism students were part of the Orlando Sentinel\u2019s data investigation team that was recognized this past weekend by the Online News Association. The ONA honored the Sentinel with its University of Florida Award for Investigative Data Journalism Award at its annual conference this weekend. The Sentinel\u2019s story, \u201cFocus on Force: An Investigation In Use of Force by the Orlando Police Department<\/a>,\u201d examined five years\u2019 worth of records examining how OPD used force and how much money it paid out in settlements from 2010-2015.<\/p>\n

And right in the middle of the Sentinel\u2019s project were\u00a0NSC\u00a0journalism students: Alissa Smith<\/strong>, Andrew Ramos<\/strong>, Aileen Perilla<\/strong> and Ciara Varone<\/strong>. They were all hired as interns specifically to examine and sort out the data and to help the reporters who were putting the story together. Multimedia artist Charles Minshew worked directly with the interns:<\/p>\n

\u201cTurning information on paper into usable data for this project was key to having a better understanding of how Orlando Police officers used force. Alissa, Andrew, Aileen and Ciara worked side by side with reporters and editors on hours upon hours of data entry. Their dedication and professional work on what seemed to be an insurmountable task played an important role in our investigation.\u2019\u2019\"g-ca68-2016-0312\"<\/p>\n

That kind of recognition would be a big deal for any program, but that\u2019s only part of the story. For the third year in a row, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (the Emmy people) has recognized \u201cShark Tank\u201d and its executive producer Clay Newbill<\/strong> (\u201982 R-TV) as the best Structured Reality Program. Also for the third year in a row, NSC R-TV students have been working as production assistants on the show, handpicked by Newbill himself. In other words, seven Nicholson students have been a part of Emmy award-winning production teams for Shark Tank: Catherine Gonzalez<\/strong>, Kelly Nader<\/strong>, Dat Tran<\/strong>, Michael Lebowitz<\/strong>, Nicole<\/strong> Inbinariaga<\/strong>, Christopher Thornburg<\/strong> and Rachel Halloy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Kiara Harris<\/strong> is an NSC student who is working at Shark Tank and Clay Newbill this year, and she says it\u2019s a life-changing experience:<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking for Clay and his team in post production has been an amazing experience. Everyone is so open and willing to answer any questions you have
\nabout the industry and that\u2019s my favorite part. Clay is also super cool he makes sure to check in on all the interns whenever he sees us to see how we\u2019re doing\u2026 It\u2019s really cool working in reality\u00a0TV and with such an organized production and incredible staff I feel really thankful.\u201d<\/p>\n

NSC Director Dr. Robert Littlefield <\/strong>was excited when he learned about the school\u2019s students and alumni receiving such high recognition for their work.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what we do here at the Nicholson School of Communication,\u201d he said. \u201cWe teach our students so that when they go out into the professional world, they can do the job above expectations. We are thrilled that our students and alumni\u00a0get national recognition on teams that\u00a0receive Emmys and\u00a0awards. That\u2019s wonderful! \u201d<\/p>\n

The moral of the story? Hire Nicholson interns and good things happen.<\/p>\n
