Campus News stories receive two national awards
The Society of Professional Journalists have named two Campus News stories as national winners in its annual Mark of Excellence Awards. “Fun with Physics” by Onize Ohikere was named the national winner in the Television Feature Reporting category and “Scuba Class at MSUM” by Lindsay Anderson and Mike Hansen was the national winner in the Television Sports Photography category.
The two stories won first place in SPJ’s Region 6 contest, which includes the states of Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The regional winners move on to the national competition, consisting of the winners from all twelve regions made up of all 50 states. National Mark of Excellence award judges could select one national winner and up to two national finalists (runners-up) in each category. First-place national winners will be acknowledged at the Excellence in Journalism 2015 Conference in September in Orlando, Florida.
