New York — The Society of Professional Journalists announced the 2003 Mark of Excellence Awards National Winners for outstanding student journalism at the 2004 SPJ national convention in New York City.
This year’s winners were chosen from more than 3,200 entries in 45 categories including print, radio, television and online. The Society has honored the best work in collegiate journalism since 1972.
"The winners of this Mark of Excellence competition should be especially proud of their accomplishments. This was the most competitive MOE contest in history. It attracted an all-time record number of entries. More than ever, these awards are honoring the best of the best," said Guy Baehr, the chairman of SPJ’s Awards and Honors Committee.
The awards, which recognized work published in 2003, were presented by Terry Harper, SPJ Executive Director, during a luncheon on Saturday, September 11. Before reaching the national competition, each finalist entry placed first at its respective regional competition. A complete list of regional winners may be found at http://www.spj.org.
The Society of Professional Journalists is dedicated to improving and protecting journalism. It is the nation’s most broad-based journalism organization, dedicated to encouraging the free practice of journalism and stimulating high standards of ethical behavior. Founded in 1909 as Sigma Delta Chi, SPJ promotes the free flow of information vital to a well-informed citizenry; works to inspire and educate the next generation of journalists; and protects First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech and press.
