STARKVILLE, Miss.—Three Mississippi State University broadcast students earned top honors in the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Southeast Chapter Student Production Awards.
MSU students received awards this spring in two categories—Hard News Report and Music Video—highlighting excellence in broadcast journalism, production and storytelling.
“The recognition from NATAS reflects the exceptional talent, creativity and professionalism of our broadcast students,” said Terry Likes, head of MSU’s Department of Communication, Media and Theatre. “These awards demonstrate their ability to produce meaningful, high-quality work that meets industry standards and prepares them for successful careers in media.”
MSU’s winners include Grace Harvey, a senior communication major from Bossier City, Louisiana, who earned first place in the Hard News Report category for “Barstool Hate Crime,” and senior communication majors Brooklin Gall and David Randall, both of Meridian, who won second place in the Music Video category for “Feather” by Lauren Lindsay.
