Student photography editor for the East Mecklenburg Eagle newspaper, Justin Perry, recently won a high-end digital camera with lenses, carrying case and memory card from the James Alan Cox Foundation, which aims to provide financial support to student photographers of high school and college age.
Justin was one of five high school journalists nationally who received the award and the only one from North Carolina.
