The Advance-Titan, the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh's independent student newspaper, took home 14 awards at the Wisconsin Newspaper Association (WNA) Foundation Collegiate Better Newspaper Contest on March 5 at the Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club.

Five students earned first-place honors, and The Advance-Titan took third place in the "general excellence" category.

"These awards represent the hard work that the staff puts in every week while producing the A-T," Advance-Titan Editor-in-Chief Jacob Link said. "It awesome that we are able to showcase one of the oldest student newspapers at the state level and I am constantly impressed by the way that our staff performs hyper-local journalism that serves the community."

"This year was a massive success, and these students should feel incredibly proud of their hard work," said Advance-Titan Faculty Adviser Ben Birkinbine. "To be honored by working professionals in their field is a testament to the high-quality work they are producing."

The WNA competition this year was judged by members of the Colorado Press Association.
