At the 2019 Society of Professional Journalists conference in Albuquerque April 6, USU's A-TV News won 12 Mark of Excellence Awards (winner or finalist). Region 9 includes Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico.
We had ten individual winners and both of our half-hour shows won their categories (newscast and magazine).
Twelve winners and finalists is the highest since 2010; what is noteworthy is that the only students to beat an Aggie in any category were other Aggies.
