The San Jose City College Times won 20 awards from the Journalism Association of Community Colleges NorCal\u00a0Conference in Sacramento on Sept. 22.<\/p>\n

The JACC is a non-profit educational corporation that recogizes excellence in journalism at community college newspapers throughout\u00a0California.<\/p>\n

Photo editor\u00a0Steve Hill won two first place awards\u00a0for the Times in two sections: Feature photo and online photo essay. Hill also\u00a0won second place\u00a0for online photography and online photo essay, as well as third place for the bring-in photo section.<\/p>\n

“We obviously have a very strong Journalism Program at SJCC\u00a0since we\u00a0continue to be recognized around the state for our work,” Hill said. “I would really like administrators to take note that this year\u00a0the City College Times\u00a0has won at least 25 state and regional awards.”<\/p>\n

Editor-and-Chief Mark Sheppard\u00a0won an\u00a0award for on-the-spot news photo of the keynote speaker\u00a0and Managing Editor Linh Nguyen won an award for on-the-spot news writing, which\u00a0covered the keynote address.<\/p>\n

Sheppard said he intends to win as many awards as possible in the next conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an amazing experience. I didn’t expect to win at all, let alone three awards,\u201d Sheppard said.<\/p>\n

JACC president Mary Mazzocco wrote in an email that campus newsrooms are a place where students can practice skills such as arriving on time, behaving professionally, working as a team and getting a product out on deadline.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that journalism students in the community college system have an advantage over many others in that they are more resourceful and assertive,\u201d wrote Peter Hernandez, 21, a journalism student from the Guardsman newspaper of City College of San Francisco..<\/p>\n

This year, JACC of Northern California conference offered more than 15 workshops and five on-the-spot contests. More than 200 students from 18 colleges from the Northern California area gathered and competed at the conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents benefit from conferences in a lot of different ways,\u201d Mazzocco wrote. \u201cFor some, it\u2019s their first chance to work under intense deadline pressure in competition with other journalists to get the best story, photo or cartoon done. For others, it\u2019s a chance to meet four-year faculty or professionals who can advise them on their career goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two students per school can enter each competition. Each student can compete in two different contests.\u00a0 The SJCC Times only had four attendees to attend to five different contests. The staff lost six chances to win the competitions at conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt shows not only our commitment but also our producibility,\u201d Sheppard said of the twenty achievements of the Times.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of fall semester, the Times was threatened to be cut if the enrollment requirement of students was not meet. With 20 staff members working in the newsroom now, the Times survived and continues its job as watchdog of the SJCC community.<\/p>\n

The next issue of City College Times will be out on Oct. 23.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
