Student Media Honored At National Convention

Truman’s student media received two national awards during the Associated Collegiate Press/College Media Association fall convention Nov. 1 in Austin, Texas. 

Student representatives traveled to the conference and were presented with two “Best of Show” awards. The Truman Media Network (TMN) news and entertainment website received third place honors in the small university category. Detours magazine was honored with a fourth place award in the feature magazine category.
 
Five students attended the convention: Grace Bueckendorf, Kathleen Gatliff, Austin Hornbostel, Sara Hettel and Mary Tomlinson. All are affiliated with TMN, a co-curricular activity in the Department of Communication. Two faculty media advisers, Don Krause and Mark Smith, accompanied the students to the convention.
