The Statesman recently received two awards in the New York Press Association’s 2008 Better Newspaper Contest for its commitment to journalism on the Stony Brook University campus.
The paper won second place in the best news story category with Bradley Donaldson’s article “Art Exhibitions Pulled from Arts Festival,” and third place for “Graduate Student Employees Protest Unfair Wages” by April Warren.
This is the 79th annual Better Newspaper Contest, which is open to colleges and universities across the state. This year, 14 colleges submitted 186 entries in eight categories.
