The Chronicle Again Named State's Best

For the second year in a row, the Columbia Chronicle was named the state’s top student newspaper in its category. The General Excellence Award was one of more than a dozen honors The Chronicle won at the annual Illinois College Press Association convention competition held here in Chicago in late February.
 
In addition to Journalism majors, students from the Photography, Marketing Communication, Film, and Art & Design departments brought home awards.
 
Please join us in congratulating not only the Chronicle staff, but also student journalists across the state on their remarkable accomplishments.
