Young helps student paper win General Excellence awards

Waynesburg resident Maranda Young is on the staff of the University of the Cumberlands’ student newspaper, The Patriot, which won 29 General Excellence awards from the Kentucky Press Association. The paper also won three advertising awards.

The honors included a first place General Excellence award in the student publications class one category and ranged from Best Sports Column to Best Feature Picture to Best Headline. In total, The Patriot received 11 first place awards, 13 second place awards, three third place awards and one certificate of merit, in addition to the advertising awards. Also at the awards banquet, outgoing KPA president Peter Baniak named all Kentucky student journalists as 2018’s Most Valuable Member, giving The Patriot yet another plaque to take home.

“Being on a staff this small that is so successful is an exciting and hopeful feeling,” said Mike Krzyston, editor-in-chief of The Patriot. “It’s exciting because it’s great to see our hard work pay off and how much we are able to achieve, and it’s hopeful because I know that, if we can do it, future Patriot staffs can do it as well.”
