The Record
Jean Rice received the ACM's Dirk Koning-George Stoney Award for Humanistic Communication in 1981, one of the earliest years of the award, placing her among the founding generation of people the field chose to honor for work connected to human-centered communication, public access values, and community voice.
The award in 1981 was given when public access television was still establishing its civic identity, and the people recognized in those early years reflected foundational work in defining what community media was for and what values should guide it.
The specific details of Jean's station affiliations and organizational roles are not well documented in publicly available sources, but the 1981 award year places her in the cohort of practitioners who were shaping the field before it had a fully developed professional identity or national infrastructure.
