Two University of Montana broadcast journalism students were named winners of the Fox News Channel College Challenge.
Alexandra Schwier from Bozeman and Kyle Schmauch from Kalispell produced a television news story on Montana’s controversial wolf hunt that was judged to be best in the country by Fox News Channel.
Schwier and Schmauch, along with professor Ray Ekness, flew to New York City and appeared on the Fox and Friends program on Friday, April 27.
For winning the College Challenge, Schwier and Schmauch split a $10,000 award. UM’s Radio-Television department received a matching $10,000 gift. Following the appearance on Fox and Friends and the After the Show Show, the students took a tour of the FNC building and studios, met with Fox News Channel executives and interviewed for summer internships.
