The Oswegonian was honored by the Society of Professional Journalists in 2002, and was recognized as a National Finalist in the category of "Best All-Around Non-Daily Student Newspaper (published less than twice a week)."[3] The publication subsequently captured national runner-up honors.[4]
The newspaper distinguishes itself from other student-run publications by being an independent club of the school, administered by the student government for Oswego State, rather than being a direct offshoot of the host school's School of Communication, Media and the Arts.
In previous years, The Oswegonian has broken national headlines, including the State University of New York revoking Charlie Rose's Doctorate of Humane Letters in early 2018, keeping up with other well-known student-run newspapers and other local newspapers in the area.
