The Voice Receives National Honors
The Voice, Irvine Valley College’s student newspaper, won third place for general excellence this week at the National College Media Convention in Orlando, Fla.
The newspaper, established four years ago, received the award from Associated College Press in the tabloid category for two-year colleges. The national award is the first for the Voice.
“What makes this exciting is that it confirms we’re doing all the right things,” said Olga Briseno, the director of the college’s journalism program.
The newspaper submitted its Nov. 14 issue for the competition, which weighed design, newswriting, photography and opinion pages. The winning front page will be published in an upcoming edition of College Media Review.
Four Voice staff members traveled to Florida for the convention, which drew about 3,500 college students and faculty.
