"Her work has been impressive already. In just a couple weeks, she has produced two feature front centerpieces and several local news stories, including an A1 interview with a Treasure Coast bishop about his recent visit to the Vatican. What has been most impressive about Kristen is her initiative. She started May 3, but arrived on the Treasure Coast ready to start on April 30...She works hard, seeks out opportunities and is eager to take on anything we give her. We couldn't ask for a better intern."

— Hillary Copsey, features editor of Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers​

​"I can't say enough about Kristen Swilley. She is a well-rounded journalist and a talent to the industry. Ms. Swilley is an award-winning writer, an ideas person and a student dedicated to finding the next story whether it is for Journey, Florida A&M University's campus magazine or The Famuan, the student newspaper. Not limiting herself to print only, she is also very well-versed in multimedia and knows her way around a television station as she has served as a reporter and a technical director for FAMU TV-20. This young lady is going places and would be a valuable asset to anyone's organization." — Laura J. Downey, managing editor of Forbes Travel Guide magazine.



"Her work was strong in all areas and she demonstrated great attention to detail. Kristen was outstanding at balancing many competing priorities and asking clarification questions when necessary. She is able to "switch gears" quickly between projects and communicates exceedingly well." - Kari Glisson, Tallahassee Democrat ​​

 





 

"(Journey) magazine has a voice, and it shouts. Opinionated and feisty throughout, it

captures the manic intensity of student lifestyles, and it’s conveyed both through intensely
personal text and aggressive design. You start flipping through these pages, and suddenly you
wonder if the whole thing might burst into flames, it’s so hot with strong opinion, smoky
feelings, spark-throwing photography, and incendiary design. Best of all, there is a unity of
mission throughout, so what emerges is a coherent, passionate voice of FAMU. It’s hard to
imagine a better student-run magazine." — Peter Moore, editor of Men's Health and judge in the 2012 AEJMC Contest​
