The trio also won first place in print media advertising for their joint work on the single sheet poster celebrating Coast Day in the Delaware Press Association's 1999 Communications Contest: The True Power of the Media. The team also won first place in the achievement/ research category for an informational package on UD's environmental studies programs and third place for public relations printed materials for a nonprofit organization with their work on the UD Sea Grant Reporter special issue, which covers the activities of the Sea Grant program at the University. With the help of Claire McCabe, marine communications, Bryant also won second place in the category of radio public service announcement or promotion/ publicity for the SeaTalk radio series. The program, which has been produced for 22 years, is a series of 30- to 60-second public service announcements.
Other members of the University community won Delaware Press Association's awards that were presented at the group's April meeting.
Ginger Pinholster, public relations, won first place in the category of information for media for her news release, "Worm Wizardry: World's Most Heat-tolerant Creature Suggests Enzymes for Drugs or Industry, UD prof says." The release on Craig Cary's research reached a minimum of 6.5 million readers through such publications as The New York Times, The Washington Post and Newsday. The availability of artwork via the web and video footage significantly enhanced both print and television stories on Cary's findings.
