Anna Hull

Dedicated early-career journalist, experienced student media editor, critically-minded but empathetic storyteller, and incoming reporter at The Olympian. 

"Anna’s work both in the classroom and at The Daily demonstrates a thorough, original, and contextual style of reporting that demonstrates ambitious concepts and newsworthy significance. She is a stalwart in the trenches –– the difficult trenches. Her impressively long list of news stories help tell the story of the university and beyond. Her influence in helping the public understand the UW as an institution is admirable."

Andrea Otañez, professor of Journalism & Public Interest Communication at the University of Washington, upon presenting Anna with the department's 2026 reporting award.
