6 Good News Emilie Lounsberry, professor of journalism and professional writing, won a 2018 Salute to Excellence Award from the National Association of Black Journalists. Lounsberry's winning piece, "Testilying," was co-authored by Philadelphia Inquirer staffer Michaelle Bond and appeared in the Inquirer in 2017. Her reporting ultimately contributed to the outcome of a long- embattled case in which a Philadelphia man was freed from 28 years in prison and deemed "likely innocent" in a 1991 murder.
