Gaylord listed in top 20 j-schools
|
 Gaylord College has been listed as one of the top 20 journalism programs in the country by the College Media Matters blog from the Associated Collegiate Press. Dan Reimold, the author of the blog, cited one of the criteria for making the list as "schools that are exciting me in the digital journalism realm and that are in some way aligned with quality campus media or professional publishing opportunities." The Associated Collegiate Press is the largest and oldest U.S. collegiate journalism organization and administers the Pacemaker awards for newspaper, online, magazine and yearbooks. Sooner Yearbook and The Daily have each won multiple Pacemakers. See the whole list in alpha order here.
