On Sunday, an Alestle publication was named among the top three special edition newspapers in the country.
The Alestle's 50th anniversary edition, published Oct. 11, earned a third place award from the Associated Collegiate Press. The edition was published to commemorate the anniversary of the founding of the university and the student newspaper.
"The anniversary was a great opportunity to put together a commemorative edition," Alestle Editor in Chief Megan McClure said. "It was a lot of fun to put together and we're honored to be recognized for it."
The competition was open to newspapers of all four-year colleges and universities in the nation, both public and private.
The UTD Mercury, from the University of Texas at Dallas, came in first place for special supplement, followed by the Collegiate Times of Virginia Tech in second place.
Honorable mentions were awarded to the BG News of Bowling Green State University and the Indiana Daily Student of Indiana University.
The Best of Show competition was held in conjunction with the National College Media Convention, Oct. 24-28 in Washington, D.C. This event, sponsored by the Associated Collegiate Press and College Media Advisers, is the largest student media event in the nation, hosting more than 2,500 students and advisers.
