This award was established in honor of Dr. David Gordon, professor and chair of the Department of Communication and Journalism from 1997-2002, particularly for his efforts in establishing close ties between the department and the Wisconsin Newspaper Association and his success in working with The Washington Post to establish the Ann Devroy Fellowship and the Ann Devroy Memorial Forum.
