7. Student-produced media earn national awards

Kudos to the staff of the 2003-04 “The Met Report” online student broadcast station and The Metropolitan student newspaper for their recent national awards.

After having won a regional Mark of Excellence award from the Society of Professional Journalists, “The Met Report” went on to win the national award at the SPJ’s national convention in New York City September 9-11.

In addition, The Metropolitan garnered a national second place award in the General Excellence - College Newspaper category of the National Newspaper Association’s Better Newspaper Contest. The Met staff and Student Media Director Doug Conarroe learned of their award at the organization’s national convention in Denver on Sept. 17. Cal State-Chico took the top honor.
