| TSU Broadcast Students Win Awards |
| In
keeping with the long-standing tradition of award-winning work by students
of the Hall School of Journalism at Troy State University, two broadcast
journalism students recently won three awards at the National Broadcasting
Society's annual conference at the University of Florida in Gainesville
on Nov. 14-15. Senior Holly Peters of Ozark won a first-place award for her hard news story on Governor Riley's Tax Reform Rally and another first place for a feature story on the Luverne Peanut Boil. Senior Marshall Moore of Banks won second place for her hard news story on Phi Mu Sorority's annual teeter-totter fundraiser. Seven students attended the conference along with Jefferson Spurlock, NBS faculty adviser and assistant professor of broadcast journalism at Troy State University. “Winning these awards from such a prestigious group as the National Broadcasting Society certainly exhibits the quality of students we have in TSU's Hall School of Journalism,” Spurlock said. Troy State is in the region of the NBS which is made up of schools from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina. With Holly Peters and Marshall Moore winning these awards, that definitely shows this region of the U.S. as well as the rest of the nation that our broadcast journalism students are among the best in the country.” |
