Advocate wins three more journalism awards

The Advocate has been honored with three more awards for journalistic excellence from the South Carolina Press Association.

At the SCPA’s annual meeting April 4 in Columbia, the 189-year-old newspaper was awarded first place in its associate/individual member division for overall newspaper and magazine publications.

As well, Advocate Editor Jessica Brodie won second place in faith reporting for an article titled “Disciplined Body and Soul” and third place in faith reporting for an article titled “A Church and Then Some” (both from the March 2024 Advocate).

About the Advocate overall, judges said, the newspaper was “packed with local and state news, features and thoughtful commentary.”

“The Advocate is a hub for resources, news and information. Really enjoyed the stories, photos and briefs featuring local church events and projects,” judges noted. “Very well done publication in a competitive class of entries.”

This brings the total to 129 awards the Advocate has won since 2010.
