Posted: 05.09.06

David Domke is the 2006 recipient of the Krieghbaum Under 40 Award from the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.

The award honors AEJMC members under 40 years of age who have shown outstanding achievement and effort in three areas: teaching, research and public service. The late Hillier Krieghbaum, former New York University professor emeritus and 1972 AEJMC president, created and funded the award in 1980. In 1990, he further endowed the award, increasing its cash value to $1,000.

This is a highly significant national-level award that has gone to some of the very best scholars in the field of mass communication. Among those nominating Dave for the award were Professors Hazel Dicken Garcia (Minnesota), Dhavan Shah (Wisconsin-Madison), David Weaver (Indiana), and Julie Andsager (Iowa).

Dave's nomination materials noted his superb research and mentorship record, his 2001 UW Distinguished Teaching Award, his leadership in UW teaching/learning issues and workshops, and his public scholarship activity.
