Crowder’s student newspaper, the Crowder Sentry, recently earned a “first place with special merit” award from a national contest as well as 25 individual and group awards at the state level.
The “first place with special merit” award was given by the American Scholastic Press Association, headquartered in New York, based on a point system. The Sentry earned 955 out of 1000 possible points and therefore ranked at the highest level possible. The publication is analyzed on various categories such as content coverage, design, and adherence to professional standards of the journalism industry.
Also, Logan Stark, Neosho, won special recognition for non-school related article “A Peak of Joplin.”
At the state level, the Missouri Press Association co-sponsors the Missouri Collegiate Media Association to annually recognize outstanding achievement among Missouri’s college newspapers. The Sentry’s awards are as follows:
