he Missouri Urban Journalism workshop probed the
question of health care in America. Julianne Micoleta interviewed medical students about the affect the
Affordable Care Act will have on their education, careers
and the future of patient care.
Julianne’s essay noted: “… at the Missouri Urban
Journalism Workshop this summer, I realized what a
privilege it is to be able to be part of a process that may
start from a question but transforms into something that
is so essential in our society.”
Tony Balandaran, a mentor at the University of Missouri workshop, was impressed by Micoleta. He wrote
in her nomination, “She knows how to get a good story,
and she demonstrated that at MUJW. She has a strong
work ethic that guarantees accuracy, a perseverance to
improve her writing and a desire to inform the reader.”

Joe Rodriguez, Mosaic executive director, wrote, “Corina Martinez arrived with
a passion for advocacy journalism but no
training in objective reporting and writing.
She learned it the hard way, but Corina
now has the skill well in hand, along with
the promise of a bright future in journalism.”
Corina wrote, “I will be forever grateful for the people
I met at Mosaic. But the one thing I will never lose is
the experience and realizing a passion that will take me
through college and beyond: telling a story.”
