Over 2,000 are attending a college media convention in
Philadelphia this year, including students from the University of Oklahoma’s
Oklahoma Daily and Sooner Yearbook.
Seven students and their faculty advisor Judy Gibbs Robinson
are attending the ACP/CMA Fall National College Media Convention from Oct. 29
to Nov. 2 at the Philadelphia Downtown Marriott.
The convention will have several different sessions,
workshops and other events hosted by students and professors that attendees are
encouraged to attend. It will also hold award ceremonies for different mediums
of student-produced media.
The editor of the Oklahoma Daily, Blaykee Buchanan and Robinson
will be leading different sessions at the conference. Robinson is hosting
several workshops on news connecting with readers, and Buchanan is
participating in a roundtable on the challenges of running a collegiate newspaper.
“One of the most exciting aspects of the conference for us
is that Sooner is a finalist for the Pinnacle award,” said Nick Jungman, the
Director of Student Media at OU.
The Associated Collegiate Press presents their Pinnacle
award to the best quality work from university journalists. The Pinnacle award
is thought of as a Pulitzer Prize for college Journalism.
The students will find out at the conference during the week
if the Sooner Yearbook will win the Pinnacle award.
