The El Vaquero staff was recognized on Saturday for this year’s
achievements, as well as some spontaneous accomplishments.
The Journalism Association of Community Colleges (JACC) hosts conferences for member schools in Northern and Southern California in the autumn, and a state-wide convention in the spring.
Approximately 70 member colleges participate, with staffs as few as Glendale’s, or as many as 20. The weekend gatherings feature guest speakers, workshops and seminars as well as mail-in, bring-in and
on-the-spot competitions.
El Vaquero generally does well in these competitions, but this year the newspaper staff outdid itself with 20 awards, which we believe to be an all-time high for this campus.
As Editor in Chief, I would like to congratulate my team
on a job well done, and thank the staff that preceded us for setting the bar so
high. To credit these winners, here is a list of competition, ranking, and name:
