Student Success at the SMEDIAS

The National Student Media Awards (SMEDIAS) took place on the 9th of April at the Mansion House in Dublin, celebrating an unforgettable milestone – the 25th anniversary of the SMEDIAS.

UL journalism students secured nominations in 12 separate categories in the Awards. 

The Magazine Eclectic produced by second year journalism students, won Magazine of the Year at the National Student Media Awards. This is the second time the magazine has won the title. 

The module is overseen by Aoife Sheehan, Associate Teacher in Journalism. Speaking about the latest award she said:

"I'm delighted for the class who worked hard on this project. It is a wonderful recognition by key industry leaders of the high standard of work produced by our journalism students here in UL and this module provides a creative space to develop their skills in magazine work and feature writing".

The second UL winner of the night was Róisín Leavy-Sahin who won Short Film of the Year with her film 'Rat King'.

Congratulations to all the winners!
