The Current, Green River College’s print and online student newspaper, recently won two awards at the National College Journalism Convention.
The staff placed fourth in the Special Section category for its 2015 fall quarter issue celebrating the college’s 50th anniversary and took sixth place in the Best of Show category, which measures the overall quality of the publication compared with others in its class.
More than 150 college and universities attended the convention at Universal City in Los Angeles from Feb. 18-21, including six students from Green River who also took a private, 90-minute tour of the Los Angeles Times newsroom. Students attending the conference were Alina Moss, editor; James Ristig, managing editor; Valorie Lovejoy, web editor; Ethan DuBoise, sports editor; Kartik Sarda, opinion editor and Shelly Thurman, assistant arts and entertainment editor.
