All-American paper award is Kansan's third in a row
A third consecutive All-American rating has been awarded to the University Daily Kansan, it was announced Monday by Otto W. Quale, executive director of the Associated Collegiate Press at the University of Minnesota.
Approximately 600 newspapers from colleges and universities throughout the United States were evaluated in the 82nd All-American Critical Service competition.
Issues of the Kansan published from September through December 1969 were judged on coverage and content, writing and editing, editorial leadership, physical appearance and photography. Marks of distinction for superior achievement may be awarded in each of the five categories and a paper must receive four such credits to be rated All-American.
The Kansan received marks of
distinction for superior accomplishment in writing and editing, editorial leadership, physical appearance and photography.
"Covering the college campus and relating to national and international events offers an increased challenge to the newspaper staff working with limited time and funds," Quale said. "An overall study indicates that the majority of the entries in our competition are doing an outstanding job, fully aware of the opportunities of a free and responsible press."
Specifically cited as examples of "good, responsible journalism" were the Kansan's pleasing balance between news and features, a number of exceptionally welldone photographs and the colorful writing in several feature stories.
The Kansan received a mark of distinction for editorial leadership in its "dispassionate treatment of vital issues such as ROTC and the moratoriums." The Kansan was commended for "giving a studied, yet vigorous, view of these important issues."
