We’re excited to announce that WORD was awarded second place for “Story of the Year: Local Climate Change Reporting” by the Associated Collegiate Press!
The story, “The Sticky Truth,” explores the history of oil’s impact on the Isla Vista coastal community. Combining real-life stories with historical insights, writer Grant Menolascino found new angles on this compelling local issue. Stunning photography by Adam Bagul lends us a close-up perspective on the ominously deserted oil rigs.
