The competition featured entries from colleges across the country, including the University of Miami, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Central Washington University, West Texas A&M University and others.
WSU placed finalists in eight categories, a record for the school.
Communication instructor Terri Reddout, faculty advisor for Weber State News, WSU's student-produced newscast, said the awards foster creativity.
"We push our students to think differently," she said. "They work so very hard, and it is a tremendous honor for them to be recognized by the National Broadcasting Society. Having eight finalists considered among the very best in the nation and bringing home three grand-prize trophies was just remarkable. For a little school out in the West, we did very well."
