“I’ve been struck by Max Maldonado’s character and dedication.  In Broadcast Journalism, Max has excelled in teasing out interesting angles, cultivating credible sources, asking smart questions, and producing stories that are both intelligent and engaging.  His first assignment was a radio piece looking at emergency services available for local sports events such as high school football games.
