2009 Hall of Fame Inductees
- Laurie Smith Anderson (posthumous award)
Laurie Smith Anderson was a long-time reporter for The Advocate in Baton Rouge. Anderson, who earned her degree in 1975, reported for both the Advocate and State-Times in Baton Rouge during her career before her death in 2007. She was known for her award-winning work in medical reporting, feature writing and food reporting. Anderson is also remembered for her column, “The Patient Person,” written during the last 18 months of her life in which she chronicled her battle with colon cancer. “Laurie has helped so many cancer patients in this city with her column,” said Dr. Gerald P. Miletello, a cancer specialist and Anderson’s oncologist. Her columns were later complied into a book by Capital City Press.
- Hugh Mercer Blain (posthumous award)
Hugh Mercer Blain was the first director of the journalism program at LSU and was instrumental in creating the curriculum around which the LSU Department of Journalism would later develop. He was recruited by then-LSU President Thomas Boyd to the English Department and as faculty adviser to the campus newspaper, the Reveille, in 1908. In 1912, Blain’s informal workshops to train The Reveille staff turned into the first journalism course, Advanced Composition: The Newspaper. By 1915 Blain had arranged with publisher Charles Manship, Sr., to place interns at the Baton Rouge State-Times. Reveille stories at the time describing journalism education at LSU referred to a “journalism department” and to Blain as the department’s “director” before such organizational and administrative titles existed. LSU gave formal recognition to journalism as a department within the College of Arts & Sciences during the 1918-1919 academic year. Manship professor Ron Garay, in his new book “The Manship School: A History of Journalism Education at LSU,” refers to Blain as the “father” of journalism at LSU.
Russell Carollo graduated from the Manship School in 1982. He was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1998 for National Reporting while working for the Dayton Daily News, following an investigation of medical malpractice in the military. The series was responsible for reforms in the military’s health care system. Congress approved $5 million to study the problems discussed in the series. “Russell is perhaps the nation’s most prolific filer of Freedom of Information requests,” said Jay Perkins, one of Carollo’s professors.
Jacklyn Ducote is a community leader in Baton Rouge, helping shape public policy and crusading for education reform for more than three decades. She has worked to protect and improve Louisiana’s open meetings and public records laws to make government accountable and to influence education policymaking. Ducote was the first female president of the Public Affairs Research Council and the executive vice president of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry. She is also co-coordinator for the Public Policy Leadership Institute of Southern Mutual Help Association and its 11-parish Rural Recovery Response to the devastation wreaked by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Her service to the Manship School as chair of the Hall of Fame Committee, president of the Alumni Board and chair of the Journalism Building’s renovation has been exemplary. She received a bachelor’s degree in journalism in 1964 and a master’s in Library Science in 1965.
