Metro's
student journalists collect more awards
Just weeks after The Metropolitan won third
place in the national Associated Collegiate Press Newspaper of the
Year competition, student journalists collected more awards at the
Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence Awards for
Region 9, which includes Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico.
The Met Report
won two first-place awards, one for Best Television Newscast - Non-Daily
and the other for Best Online Student Broadcast Station. The station
also picked up a second-place award for TV Sports Photography and
two third-place awards for TV Feature Photography and TV Sports
Reporting.
"The Met
Report is only in its second year, so that says a lot about what
we've done in a short time, especially beating a school like CSU,
which has a great program and has been around for a while,"
said Tom Livingston, news director and anchor of The Met Report.
Added Jim Craig,
coordinator of Metro's broadcasting program: "I am delighted
with the success of the Met Report. I am proud of them - they're
good, talented people doing good, creative work."
