Congratulations to David Kempa, a Carnegie-Knight News21 reporter from Arizona State University who won a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in the college print category.

Kempa’s story ‘Crossing Lines,’ illustrates one man’s goal to help impoverished Mexican farmers.

This is the second consecutive year a student at ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism wins the award.

The RFK Journalism Awards program honors outstanding reporting on issues that mattered to Robert F. Kennedy, such as human rights, social justice and the power of individual action in the United States and around the world.

Kempa was part of a team of Cronkite students who participated last summer in News21, a national journalism education initiative funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation.
