The Lafayette student newspaper won six 2026 Student Keystone Media Awards from the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association.
In the Division II category for four-year colleges and universities with enrollment under 10,000 students, the student newspaper garnered four first-place and two second-place awards. The Lafayette was the only publication from an institution without a journalism or communications program to win a first-place award in the division.
The awards recognized ongoing and investigative news coverage, reviews, feature coverage, and photography.
