Hooray for The Current

Yesterday I wrote about the national student journalism conference in St. Louis, and mentioned that the paper that I advise, The Current, had entered the Best of Show competition. This morning while I was in Sunday School, the editors called my cell phone with the news that the paper took 2nd place in its division, 4-year school weekly broadsheet publications. About 9 years ago, they won 4th in this category. About 2600 student journalists attended this conference, with some 600 publications represented. This award has all of the editors quite excited, and their Old Adviser is really proud of them! If you would like to know more about what today's college journalists are up to, The Current publishes weekly on Mondays, and the web edition can be found at http://www.thecurrentonline.com
