Students in Samford University’s journalism and mass communication department competed at the 2019 Southeastern Journalism Conference at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

The conference spanned between Feb. 14-16. The conference welcomed college journalists from universities across the Southeastern U.S. It included on-site competitions and an award ceremony.

The competition challenged student’s writing capabilities and focused on multiple writing styles such as news, feature, arts and entertainment, op-ed, and sports writing. Besides writing, other categories encompassed visual storytelling, mainly design, page layout and photography.

Competitions did expand beyond traditional mediums and  dipped into broadcast and radio. Students in these competitions created news packages. Other competitions branched into public relations, current events, and media ethics, history, and law.

In total, Samford students won 11 awards, nine were awarded to stories completed off-site and that were created sometime during 2018. Three students won first place in the Best of the South category. The other two awards were for onsite competitions.
