Student Media receive multiple awards at the
National College Media Convention
| Sooner, Daily among Best of Show
Sooner yearbook 2012, edited by journalism senior Bryan Dugan, came in third and The Oklahoma Daily, edited by professional writing senior Laney Ellisor, placed fifth in the Best of Show competition at the National College Media Convention in Chicago. OUDaily.com placed 10th in its category.
Six editors from the Daily and two from Sooner were among the 1,000-plus college journalists who attended the four-day convention, which ended Sunday. Only publications with students at the convention are allowed to compete in Best of Show.
Sooner 2011 wins Pacemaker
Sooner yearbook 2011, edited by Kerry Friesen, won the coveted Pacemaker award, which calls itself the "Pulitzer Prize of college journalism."
Associated Collegiate Press announced Pacemaker yearbook finalists last spring. Pacemaker winners were announced Saturday during the National College Media Convention in Chicago, co-sponsored by ACP and the College Media Association.
This year, 10 yearbook Pacemakers were awarded.
Lusk brings home second-place design award
Journalism senior Chris Lusk placed second in the nation in the Associated Collegiate Press Design of the Year competition, page 1 category, for the front page of the March 7, 2012, newspaper, which featured a full-page editorial supporting gender-neutral housing.
Judges said Lusk made "a very brave decision to bring a clearly written editorial out to the cover. Even more amazing is the typographic and design restraint used." They went on to say forcing students to consider an important issue "is what a newspaper's editorial should be used for, and the designer did an amazing job of getting out of the way of compelling content."

Fans of the Academy Award winning film Life is Beautiful might recognize Arezzo's many medieval tower homes and Renaissance churches.
