Cranbrook Schools' Student Newspaper <i>The Crane-Clarion</i> Receives National Recognition
Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School's student newspaper The Crane-Clarion recently received a gold medal from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association at Columbia University and the honor of First Class with three Marks of Distinction from the National Scholastic Press Association. Both organizations commended the newspaper as an excellent overall read and praised its near-perfect copy, story coverage and strong editorials.
Cranbrook students responsible for the work recognized by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and National Scholastic Press Association include seniors Dan Pan, Jimmy Tobias, Brian Harbour, Michael Birnkrant, Joseph Drews and Derek Gollnitz; junior Marissa Ash; and graduates John Holsapple, Bradley Portnoy, Jess Joswick, Matthew Iles, Rachel Welford, Gayathree Murugappan, Tyler Goin and Justine Dolorfino.
The Crane-Clarion has a long history of preparing students for writing and editing responsibilities with some of the top college newspapers in the country, positions that helped them achieve professional success in journalism after graduation. U.S. News & World Report senior writer Michael Barone, Washington Post columnist Michael Kinsley, former CNBC commentator Steve Frank, political activist and author Daniel Ellsberg and Wall Street Journal columnist Raymond Sokolov all wrote for The Crane-Clarion before writing for Harvard University’s student newspaper, The Harvard Crimson. More recently, former Crane-Clarion editors Heather Kamins, Katherine Robinson and Gautam Hans have written for the University of Michigan's newspaper The Michigan Daily, The Chicago Maroon at University of Chicago and The Columbia Spectator at Columbia University, respectively.
Other notable Crane-Clarion alumni who have gone on to prominent media careers include ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff and Detroit News columnist Thomas Bray.
The Columbia Scholastic Press Association grew out of several gatherings of editors and staff members from secondary schools in the metropolitan New York area. Since 1925, more than 125,000 newspapers, magazines, and yearbooks have entered the annual critiques for evaluations and more than 240,000 delegates have attended its annual conventions. The National Scholastic Press Association was formed in 1921 as a way to help students and teachers improve their publications. Its goal is to help students become better reporters, writers, editors, photographers, designers, desktop publishers and advertising and business staffers.
