Josh is a senior at the University of Missouri, where he is assistant news editor of the Columbia Missourian. He had a Dow Jones internship in summer 2010 at the Wall Street Journal and was an editorial intern last summer at Standard & Poor’s. He also won an ACES scholarship last year. Judges thought his headlines were by far the strongest of any candidate’s, they were impressed with his editing example, and they gave him bonus points for his involvement with ACES. He even quotes Merrill Perlman’s Phoenix conference speech in his essay, which is headlined, “If the copy editor is dead, is this heaven?”
