C.W. Post Student Newspaper Wins
Four College Journalism Awards
In keeping with a long-time tradition of excellence, The Pioneer
- the student newspaper of the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University
in Brookville - has won four Newsday College Journalism Awards for work
submitted in the Fall 1998 semester.
The awards were for the following: First Place: Photography went to
Massapequa resident Chris Vultaggio, photography editor; First Place: Local
News went to "Banfi Vintner" by Lockport, NY resident C.J. Randall,
editor-in-chief; Second Place: Commentary went to "Newt-ered"
by Middle Island resident Suzanne Deffree, news editor; Second Place: Typography
and Layout went to Wayne, N.J. resident Darin E. Gaba, production manager,
and Cranford, N.J. resident John M. Leary, managing editor.
Newsday holds its annual College Journalism Awards to honor college,
high school and junior high school newspapers on Long Island.
"The Pioneer is made up of students who take on full credit loads
and often work outside of school," said Suzanne Deffree, the Pioneer's
Spring 1999 editor-in-chief. "We put out quality publications every
week and work hard to become an even more active part of C.W. Post, including
doubling our on-campus coverage and holding events like our recent career
seminar, 'How to Break into Journalism' and our three open houses for incoming
and undergraduate students."
