Kirkwood Student Productions films in the Linn Hall studio
Cedar Rapids, Iowa (February 10, 2016)–Kirkwood Community College Student Media received 15 recognition awards at the annual Iowa College Media Association (ICMA) convention held in Des Moines Feb. 4 and 5.
Kirkwood’s student-run newspaper, The Communiqué, won nine awards in eight of the 24 contest categories. Two of the most notable were second place for Best Sports Writing and for Best Headline Writing.
“When competing against four-year colleges, winning nine awards is a great accomplishment for the Communiqué students,” said Sarah Morey, faculty advisor. “They are a hard working group of students, but more importantly they are dedicated and passionate about what they do.”
Kirkwood Student Productions, a student-run television news program, placed first for the Best Variety/Comedy Show and went on to win five additional awards.
