The Express and saccityexpress.com, the paper’s online counterpart, were presented with 15 awards Nov. 7 at the Journalism Association of Community Colleges NorCal regional conference in San Jose.
Saccityexpress.com garnered a general excellence award, the highest standard for community college Web newspapers. Awards were given to designers, photographers and writers alike.
“It’s good to know we’re going in the right direction with our new online focus this fall,” Express editor in chief Chris Geanakos said. “We strive to ensure that our coverage is relevant to our campus.”
JACC gives recognition to the California and Arizona community colleges that excel in journalism.
The awards were based on mail-in entries of articles, photographs and designed pages published in the Express and online in fall 2008 and spring 2009.
