Windward college newspaper wins national award

Advertiser Staff

Windward Community College's student newspaper, Ka 'Ohana, received its 12th first-place national award from the American Scholastic Press Association (ASPA) — this time with a "special merit."

The "special merit" designation means the paper excelled in several categories, including content, page design, creativity and overall plan. Ka 'Ohana received 960 out of 1,000 points and was described as "an outstanding overall example of a scholastic publication in format, content and presentation," according to the ASPA.

The association serves 2,000 schools and colleges nationwide, with rankings for high school, community college and four-year college and university student publications.
