At its annual meeting on Jan. 28-29, the Michigan Press Association named the Collegian the “best weekly college newspaper in Michigan.” Student writers for the Collegian also won 23 individual awards for work published during the 2014-2015 school year.
“Hillsdale College has some of the smartest and most talented journalism students in Michigan,” Dow Journalism Program Director John Miller said. “These awards and recognitions show that a classical liberal arts education produces students who can think critically and write extremely well — two of the most essential qualities of a good journalist.”
According to the MPA, 14 Michigan college newspapers submitted more than 671 entries.
“We couldn’t be happier with this year’s results, and a huge congratulations goes out to all the winners,” Miller said.
