The FAMUAN student newspaper recently won 11 awards out of 21 categories at the 2007 HBCU Excellence in Journalism Student Newspaper Awards at the Black College Communication Association (BCCA). The FAMUAN captured the coveted Best Newspaper, twice weekly or more, Award.
“We applaud our students for receiving this recognition from the Black College Communication Association,” said James Hawkins, dean of the School of Journalism and Graphic Communication. “This recognition signals a high quality of journalism.”
“I was extremely proud of what we accomplished as a staff,” Akeem Anderson said. “There are a lot of great newspapers out there, and to be considered one of the best is an honor. It has been three years since we won such an award and I'm just happy to return The Famuan to elite status.”
