RTDNA is pleased to announce the foundation of the Dr. Marsha Della Giustina Scholarship, which will be awarded for the first time in 2025. The scholarship, open to any undergraduate or graduate student pursuing degrees in broadcast or multimedia journalism at any college or university in the U.S., awards one student $2,000 and an invitation to the annual RTDNA conference.
Dr. Marsha Della Giustina tirelessly spent more than a half century in broadcast journalism, beginning her career as New England’s first female news producer at Boston’s ABC affiliate WCVB-TV, before being recruited to help launch one of the nation’s first undergraduate broadcast journalism programs at Emerson College in Boston. During her years at Emerson, which spanned four decades from 1977 until her retirement in 2021, Dr. Della Giustina, who passed away in June 2023, became a mentor to thousands of reporters and producers.
