Ithaca College

 The Ithacan reaffirmed its status in the forefront of college journalism at the spring National College Media Convention in New York City last weekend.

The Ithacan Online, the Ithacan's website, was presented with a 2011 Silver Online Crown for overall excellence by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. The Crown Awards are the CSPA’s top honor. The Ithacan was the only weekly publication in the country to win a Crown Award in any category this year.

In addition, at the convention’s closing ceremony, The Ithacan Online walked away with the Apple Award for first place in the Best in Show competition. The Ithacan’s print edition won second place in the Best in Show competition as well.
