Jason Takhtadjian, Marcos Santander, Karina Trujillo and Breanna Hernandez (all Journalism and Media Studies) were honored with a Student Programming Emmy Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, Pacific Southwest Chapter.
The winning students produced an episode of the "Rebel Report," a 30-minute sports program created solely by journalism students, and overseen by faculty and UNLV TV.
The episode focused on the 2019 Southern Highlands Collegiate, one of the most prestigious collegiate golf tournaments in the country, held annually at the Southern Highlands Golf Club.
Through a collaboration with UNLV Golf and organizers of the tournament, students produced the episode "on-location" for the first time in Rebel Report history. The crew covered the final day of the tournament onsite, where UNLV's Jack Trent won the individual title in a sudden-death playoff.
