llini Media proudly presents our 2022 Hall of Fame class. This group of 20 inductees has been chosen by our Selection Committee in recognition of their distinguished professional careers and contributions to Illini Media as students, professional staff and alumni.
In this group are men and women who documented history from the front lines of World War II, the perestroika era in the Soviet Union, and the White House during the tumultuous 2020 election. We have LGBTQ journalists who spoke out about their experiences, a feminist author documenting the “abortion underground,” and a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist showing the grief and loss and impact of murder in Chicago. Radio and TV legends stand next to rising media stars, community activists, and an artist best known for drawing “Naughty Granny.”
