University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications Journalism seniors Nicole Borman and Rylan DiGiacomo-Rapp placed fourth and 15th, respectively, in the 2025-26 Hearst Multimedia Enterprise Competition. The third Multimedia competition of the year received 78 entries from 48 schools.
Borman was recognized for “A Sweet Inheritance: How One Family Helps Shape Florida Agriculture.” The story chronicles the Cutts family who have been honey beekeepers in Florida for more than five generations.

DiGiacomo-Rapp was recognized for “The Catch.” Her story focused on the impact that coastal development, habitat loss and pollution has had on career anglers’ livelihoods.
Currently, UF is in third place in the 2025-26 Hearst Intercollegiate Multimedia Competition based on accumulated student points.
