The Temple News wins 11 2025 Keystone Media Awards

The Temple News won 11 2025 Student Keystone Media Awards in the Division I category, which includes the largest student media organizations in the state. Our publication won more than it did last year, and we secured two first place awards.

Our award-winning coverage, photos, designs and podcast touched on high stakes issues that significantly impacted the Temple community during the last calendar year. Our reporting on campus protests, Temple Athletics’ relationship with NIL, the Philadelphia 76ers’ Center City arena proposal and strikes displays our commitment to upholding the mission to serve as watchdog for the Temple community.
