Fullerton : Student Newspaper Wins First in State

The student newspaper at Cal State Fullerton, the Daily Titan, is this year’s first-place winner in competition for the best college daily in the state.

The California Intercollegiate Press Assn. named the Daily Titan as the state’s top college newspaper at its April 10 conference in San Jose. The judges were newspaper professionals from Northern California publications, including the San Jose Mercury News and the San Francisco Chronicle.

The student paper and its staff also won 18 other awards, including first place in investigative reporting for work by Dollie F. Ryan. Ryan’s award-winning investigative articles last year concerned the little-known tapings on the Cal State Fullerton campus of tapes on racial separation by former Ku Klux Klan leader Tom Metzger.
