The J-School’s NYCity News Service notched Best News Site honors at the first annual eduStyle Higher-Ed Web Awards ceremony, held July 22 at the eduWeb Conference in Atlantic City.
The News Service placed first among the three finalists, which included Boston University’s BU Today and Virginia Tech’s VT News. The presentation came three months after the News Service took first-place honors for Best All-Around Independent Online Student Publication in the Society of Professional Journalists’ Region 1 Mark of Excellence awards.
“It’s very gratifying to see that our reporters’ fine work is being recognized,” said News Service Director Jere Hester. “We’re determined to raise the levels of our journalism and innovation even higher as we go forward.”
The eduStyle Higher-Ed Web Awards, honoring the best work in college and university websites, were given out in 18 categories. eduStyle is a web design gallery dedicated to higher education websites and powered by higher education web design professionals.
