Crane-Clarion Receives Impressive Awards from NSPA and CSPA!

The newspaper has recently been awarded a gold medalist rating from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA), a worldwide student press association that seeks to unite student journalists with faculty advisors at schools, colleges, conferences and critiques. This gold medalist rating is one of the highest ratings awarded to the newspaper in its history and is accompanied by the CPSA-awarded All-Columbian honors, an additional merit for newspapers of particular distinction. The Crane-Clarion received this honor in 2017, making this year’s recognition the second award of this type since the paper’s inception in 1927.

The National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA) has also weighed in on The Crane-Clarion’s excellence, awarding it a first class rating. Along with this rating come three additional marks of distinction: one mark each for content and coverage, presentation, and visuals. As the NSPA concerns itself with promoting standards of ethical journalism in print, broadcast, and electronic media in the Unites States, awards from this organization speak to the high-quality journalism that Cranbrook’s students and faculty have been providing through The Crane-Clarion.

More information about these honors will be forthcoming in the CK Times. In the meantime, many congratulations to The Crane-Clarion for this recognition of their accomplishments!
