OU broadcasting students took home the gold in nearly one-quarter of the award categories at a state broadcasting competition this week, according to a press release.
OU received 24 percent of all awards out of more than 200 entries in the Oklahoma Broadcast Education Association Undergraduate Student Award competition.
The University of Central Oklahoma and Oklahoma City University led behind OU with 19 percent and 11 percent of total awards received, respectively, according to a press release.
Categories included television directing, radio, hard news story and script writing. Among these categories, 27 OU students were recognized as winners.
Awards will be presented at the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters convention in early March. Results for the National Broadcasting Education Association awards should be announced in coming weeks.
Corrections: The original story erroneously stated OU broadcasting students won nearly one-third of the award categories at a state competition. In fact, the students won nearly one-quarter of the award categories.
