UCI, Long Beach St., Santa Ana College, and Cal Poly Pomona Go to Town at the CCMAs


The kids over at UC Irvine's paper, the New University (where I was one of those kids until like a couple of weeks ago haha) took first place in the Special Issue category at the California College Media Association awards over the weekend. It's nice to see journalism's new guard putting in work and keeping print-media journalism on life support, if just for a little bit longer.

In total, Orange County-based schools took home a total of 22 awards: 8in the daily paper division, 4 in the weekly paper division and 10 in the non-weekly division.

Full Orange County results after the jump!
