University, but she took along a
$1,000 scholarship, a reminder of the
singular honor awarded to her adviser,
Ellen Austin.
Austin, former adviser to the Viking
Sports newsmagazine and co-adviser
of INfocus, the daily school broadcast
program, was the 2012 National High
School Journalism Teacher of the Year.
She started the new school year as director
of journalism programs at The Harker
School, San Jose.
Maryssa was executive producer for
INfocus in her senior year and ran the
publication along with two of her peers.
She wrote, “Ms. Austin is a teacher who
does whatever she thinks is best for her
students. She has a strong passion for
English and journalism and she genuinely
wants her students to thrive and to love
English and journalism the way she does.
This is what I admire and respect most in
her as a teacher and mentor.
“I love broadcast journalism and
multimedia in general because I feel that
when used in the right way, videos have the
ability to spread a message to an enormous
amount of people in an extremely powerful
way. With this principle in mind, I am
starting at Northwestern University this year
and pursuing a major in radio/television/
film production. I am especially interested in
offered by the association for service by
a person. This honor is named for the
CSPA’s founding director and honors
his 45 years of distinguished service
to the student press and to Columbia
University.
The Charles R. O’Malley Award for
Excellence in Teaching recognizes “a
sustained record of outstanding teaching” in support of student journalism or
student publishing. It is intended to be
the CSPA’s highest accolade in support of the core function of teaching as
related to student-practiced journalism.
The award is named for the CSPA’s
second director and honors his generous service to the student press and to
Columbia University, his alma mater.
The James F. Paschal Award for
long-form video
journalism (like
the projects I
produced my
junior year) and
documentary
filmmaking. I
plan to learn
how to use the
correct tools in
the best way
to spread my
and others’
messages
through
Maryssa Sklaroff
multimedia,”
she said.

her work can be seen on YouTube.

the cause of the school press, encouragement to the student editors in their
