Members of North Iowa Area Community College’s Logos student newspaper staff were honored with an award at the 2008 National College Media Convention sponsored by the Associate Collegiate Press and College Media Advisers in Kansas City, Missouri.

Logos received fifth place in the Best of Show Award for two-year college tabloid newspapers with 4-16 pages.

"This award reflects the hard work that students put into producing the paper, and the conference helped provide additional instruction for the production of the paper this year and students' careers in the media in the future,” Paul Peterson, Logos adviser, said.

Attending the conference to accept the award were Peterson; Derek Grote, of Hampton, editor; Misty Fandel, of Garner, assistant editor; Scott Deetz, of Mason City, advertising manager; and Kristy Byrd, of Rockwell, feature editor.

Logos is a student-published, award-winning publication released every other week at NIACC.
