From Oct. 30 to Nov. 2, Mako Media Network — The Current, Mako TV and Mako Radio — attended the annual Fall National College Media Convention, a national collaboration between the Associated Collegiate Press and the College Media Association, in New Orleans. While there, MMN won 10 awards.
The Fall National College Media Convention is an annual event that brings together college media outlets from across America, featuring panels, workshops and award ceremonies. MMN competed against schools from across the country, beating out several, including Ithaca College.
Mako TV won second place for Best Video Newscast (Division II), second place for Best Video Special Event Coverage (Division II), honorable mention for Short Documentary and honorable mention for Newscast.
The Current won second place for Best Breaking News Coverage of Diversity (Division II), third place for Best Feature Photo (Division II) and honorable mention for Best Sports Feature Photo (Division II).

Mike Lynn, assistant director of MMN, was a speaker on the panel “Whatcha Listenin’ To?: Talking About Journalism Podcasts.”
Seven students from Mako Media traveled to the convention. It was the first time NSU’s Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts, which houses MMN, was represented in a large national college media event.
Shanti Bruce, chair of DCMA, is proud of MMN’s accomplishments.
“I am so happy to see Mako Media Network being recognized for their excellent work. The awards are very well-deserved,” Bruce said.
