The Journalism Association of Community Colleges canceled its in-person state convention this year, but they still presented awards for work published during the 2019 calendar year.
The Citrus College Clarion newspaper and Logos Magazine won several awards, including two important team awards:
- The Clarion and Logos both won "General Excellence" recognition. This is the highest overall recognition a publication can receive at the JACC level and encompasses design, photography, writing and more.
- The college also finished with seven individual awards from work published during the 2019 calendar year.
Competing against student work from close to 40 schools across California, Citrus College publication contest winners include:
- Environmental portrait: Liandra Thibodeaux, first place
- Photo story essay: Debli Chaves and Daniela Navarro, third place
- Inside page layout: Caleb Quinones and Vicman Thome, third place
- Magazine illustration: Adriana Perez-Montenegro, fourth place
- Opinion story: James Duffy, fourth place
- Front page layout: Clarion staff, honorable mention
- Magazine cover design: Liandra Thibodeaux, honorable mention
Congrats to the entire Citrus College communication program, including instructors Amber Durfield and Patrick Schmiedt, adjunct adviser Stacy Long, Logos editor-in-chief Liandra Thibodeaux, Clarion editor-in-chief Nicole Mariona and all of the students involved with the Clarion and Logos!
