The Griffon News Rakes in Awards . . . Again

At the Missouri College Media Association convention in Springfield this weekend, the Griffon News took home 18 awards, including five first place awards and a second place Sweepstakes award (based on the number and placing of entries earning awards), the highest sweepstakes award we've ever received. Congratulations to all the students submitting award-winning work, and all the students who work hard week in and week out to make the newspaper great. 　 Griffon News, Second Place, Sweepstakes; Third Place, Page One Design -Ryan Richardson, First Place, Feature Photography -Jesse West, First Place, Entertainment Review -Kallie Hartigan, Second Place, Multimedia -Matt Gleaves, Third Place, Sports Column -Alison Norris, Third Place, Multimedia -Sara Baum, Third Place, Editorial Cartoon -Matthew Fowler, Third Place, Sports Photography Charlene Divino, • First Place, News Section Front • First Place, Advertising (with Ryan Scroggins and Brooke Carter) • Second Place, Advertising (with Brooke Carter) Andy Inman • First Place, Informational Graphic • Third Place, Informational Graphic • Honorable Mention, Informational Graphic Dave Hon • Third Place, Investigative • Honorable Mention, Investigative Reporting • Third Place (with Luke Mason), Newspaper Website
