The 28th Annual Associated Collegiate Press National College Journalism Convention awarded Sacramento State’s student-run newspaper, The State Hornet, fifth place in best of show for a four-year weekly newspaper, as well as fifth best large-school publication website in Seattle on Sunday.

With roughly 130 colleges of all sizes in attendance, the weekend held several workshops and seminars on all aspects of college journalism.

The convention judged seven “Best of Show” categories: four-year daily newspaper, four-year weekly newspaper, four-year non-weekly newspaper, two-year college newspaper, small school publication website, large school publication website and the best multimedia package.

The next ACP national media conference will be held in Chicago on Oct. 31 through Nov. 4.
