Area Students Compete At NSU Media Day

TAHLEQUAH Several area high schools and colleges recently received awards during Media Day events at Northeastern State University on April 2. Students competed in several on-site competitions and heard from speakers who currently work in the media.

Media Day had great guest speakers that were all well rounded and experienced in their field, said Ashley Logan, Muskogee senior and Media Day intern. We actually had more guest speakers than we anticipated there being.

Prior to the day, area high schools and colleges submitted yearbooks and newspapers for judging in several different categories, as well as individual writers and photographers.

Overall, Media Day went smoothly. The students were excited and glad to participate in the on-site competitions, said Logan. They made a great audience; they were fun, happy and cheerful.

NSU Media Day is held the first Thursday in April. Next year, Media Day is scheduled for April 1, 2010.

Its a great learning experience for high school students and an awesome opportunity for mass communication students, said Logan.

For more information about Media Day, call Dr. Dana Eversole, associate professor of mass communication at 918-444-2891 or e-mail eversole@nsuok.edu.
