Mairin MacDonald wins film critic scholarship

This just in from Dr. Kim Piper-Aiken, our broadcast guru: Third year Focal Point Team Member Mairin MacDonald is the recipient of the first Lesley Nagy Broadcast Film Critics Association Scholarship.

MSU J-School alum Lesley Nagy selected Mairin's winning essay this past weekend. Nagy is a film critic for KBWB-TV in San Francisco who graduated from MSU in 2000.

MacDonald will receive a $550 scholarship (as will Focal Point!) and is the official film critic for the Focal Point TV News Magazine. In that role, MacDonald will host the new Focal Point Critic's Corner and will provide film critics for each show this semester.

Congratulations to Mairin!!
