The Orion takes first place in national journalism contest

Two stories from The Orion have earned “Story of the Year” recognition in the Associated Collegiate Press’ yearly contest.

Both stories examine Chico State’s administration, specifically “Entitled and demanding” and “Cuts for education, cash for administration.”

The ACP presents the “nation’s top awards in collegiate media.” Articles from Fall 2024 to Spring 2025 were submitted and evaluated by a panel of professionals.

“Entitled and demanding”
took first place in the editorial column subcategory for Story of the Year, as a response to Chico State’s Public Relations Director Andrew Staples describing Orion reporters with those words.

The winning articles were chosen from submissions spanning Fall 2024 to Spring 2025.
