OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 University of Mississippi<\/a> broadcast students were recognized for outstanding performance by the Mississippi Associated Press Broadcasters, bringing home 20 awards in the contest for college students.<\/p>\n

Student newscast “NewsWatch” won the award for Best Newscast for the fifth year in a row. Senior Shelby Sansone from Memphis, Tennessee, won the award for Mississippi’s Outstanding Student Television Reporter. Senior Steven Gagliano, from Cumming, Georgia, won Outstanding Radio Reporter. Sansone and Gagliano each won cash scholarships.<\/p>\n

“The fact that our student newscast has won the award five years in a row is remarkable,” said Nancy Dupont, UM professor of journalism. “The student managers in recent years have done a phenomenal job.”<\/p>\n

The award banquet was held April 23 in Jackson. Students competed in college categories among 51 television entries and 23 radio entries from five Mississippi universities. The contest covered work produced during the spring and fall semesters of 2015.<\/p>\n

“Our broadcast students had an excellent showing,” Dupont said. “This is a reflection of their talent and hard work. I’m sure they’d join me in congratulating my colleagues who teach broadcast journalism and the managers at the Student Media Center<\/a>. All, in my opinion, are the best you’ll find anywhere.”<\/p>\n
