The City College news publication, the Express, garnered an impressive 14 awards at the Journalism Association of Community Colleges NorCal conference Nov. 6 in San Jose.
Online news editor for SacCityExpress.com, Stephanie Rodriguez, won first place for her article about the recall effort of ASG president Steve Macias during fall 2009. Under Rodriguez’s leadership as editor in chief during the spring 2010 semester, the Express was one of six community college newspapers in Northern California to win the general excellence category.
“Winning general excellence shows the Express is a student-publication worth paying attention to,” Rodriguez said. “It definitely shows all the hard work, late nights and stress of running a publication pays off in the end.”
Two other first-place awards were presented to the Express page designers. Casey Mar, former Express design editor and current “Nightlife” columnist for The Sacramento Bee’s Ticket, won first place for her student-designed advertisement. Mar, Victor Quintana and David Kitchell won for their front-page newspaper design. News editor Maxwell McKee, recently hired as a public relations technician in the City College Public Information Office, placed second for his profile on Scott Bailey, a City Theatre staff technician.
The Express website, SacCityExpress.com, presenting original online content daily was one of seven online newspapers awarded general excellence. Several videos and a photo essay on SacCityExpress.com also won awards.
The Northern California awards are judged by professional journalists and are based on mail-in submissions for each academic year. About 60 community colleges statewide belong to JACC, a non-profit educational organization dedicated to community college journalism.
