Amy Kluber, BJ ’11, MA ’13

Hello,

I’m a Missouri School of Journalism alumna and currently serve as editor-in-chief at GovCIO Media & Research, a publication covering federal government technology.

I wanted to share a potential alumni story: I’ve been nominated for “Best Government Technology Journalist” in this year’s Echo Awards in the Washington, D.C. metro area. Additionally, senior staff writer on my team Ross Gianfortune, who is also a Mizzou journalism alum, was nominated for “Best Defense Journalist.” The voting area and additional details are here.

It’s been especially meaningful to see two Mizzou-trained journalists recognized within the same newsroom, covering complex federal and defense technology issues and leaders.

I’d be happy to provide more details about our work, how Mizzou prepared us for reporting in these spaces or coordinate a conversation if helpful.

Thank you for your consideration.

Amy Kluber
