Our 2005 graduate Sun Herald political reporter Michael Newsom earned the Mississippi Press Association’s top writing award for his series on state Department of Transportation’s travel records.
Newsom earned the Bill Minor Writing Award for his work, which also took first place for best in-depth or investigative coverage during an awards luncheon at the MPA summer convention in Tunica.
2008 graduate Angie Barmer won first place for feature photography and third place in feature writing for her work with the New Albany Gazette.
2008 graduate Patrick Ochs also won a first and second place award for his sports writing at the Oxford Eagle.
All three worked at The DM when they were students here. Newsom was Editor in Chief.
