MUNCIE, Ind. -- Hartford Courant reporter Rinker Buck has won the 2004 Eugene S. Pulliam National Journalism Writing Award for his story of the first U.S. serviceman killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom. ... The $1,500 prize to Buck from Ball State University's Department of Journalism in Muncie, Ind., is for "Shane Comes Home" - the story of a Marine's final journey from the oil fields of southern Iraq to rural Wyoming (Hartford Courant)<p>***I e-mailed Marilyn Weaver, chairman of the Ball State University journalism department, on March 11 and March 15 to ask how a school of journalism could honor a man who admitted admitted in his book that he submitted plagiarized material to get his first job and also commited academic fraud in college. I received no reply. Maybe someone else will have better luck: mweaver@bsu.edu ***<p>[ March 23, 2004: Message edited by: blanp ]</p>

Also, the first US KIA was former Guatemalan street kid Jose Gutierrez who emigrated to California. He was not given citizenshup until after his death and was burried in Guatemala, not Wyoming. Great prize, Ball State.

I'd sure as hell like to see a Poynter article on this fiasco.

The accolades continue for Rinker Buck. It's obvious that no one cares about his history.<p>Feature Writing (circulation of 100,000 or greater): “Shane Comes Home,” Rinker Buck of The Hartford Courant in Hartford, Conn. Tribute to the first Marine lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom. (SPJ 2003 Sigma Delta Chi Awards)<p>[ April 13, 2004: Message edited by: blanp ]</p>
