February 25, 2008 :: No. 160
Cal State Fullerton senior communications major Peter Martinez was honored by the Radio Television News Association of Southern California during the organization’s 58th Annual Golden Mike Awards, saluting broadcasters in the television and radio news industry.
Martinez was awarded the 2008 Jim Zaillian Memorial Scholarship, named for the former KNX-AM news director who had a special interest in the education of broadcast journalism students. It’s a $2,000 scholarship.
“I’m proud of Peter. There’s no doubt in my mind that he will become a shining star in the broadcast industry,” said Brent M. Foster, assistant professor of communications, who nominated Martinez and joined him at the awards dinner in Los Angeles.
A resident of Long Beach, Martinez has served as producer of the student-run “On the Edge” news magazine show, held an internship at KABC-TV in his sophomore year and was an Emma L. Bowen Foundation intern for KCET-TV’s former news and public affairs program “Life & Times.”
He currently serves as chair of the College of Communications InterClub Council and has produced videos for the new KCET Orange/CSUF initiative, as well as the websites of the Daily Titan and Orange County Register, under his own company, rePetePro.com.
