Huntington, WV (HNN) – Marshall University Professor Dan Hollis recently won first place in the News/Sports/Public Affairs category of the National Broadcasting Society’s professional video competition held in Dallas, Texas.
Hollis received the honor for his television news feature story about the Vandalia Gathering on the West Virginia state capitol grounds last summer.

This is the fourth year in a row, and sixth out of the past seven, Hollis has won first place in this category of the NBS awards.
Hollis also received second-place honors in the documentary category of the NBS awards for his 30-minute retrospective that included many videos from his first 10 years at Marshall.
