CCC recognition for college coronavirus coverage

The CCC recognition program honors outstanding coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Coverage for the week ending March 30, 2020, was recognized for reporting. Photo and design categories were added to the recognition week ending April 3.

Photos were recognized only during the week that ended April 3, to recognize photo coverage before shelter-in-place orders into into effect across the country.

The awards are now sponsored by four organizations —
Associated Collegiate Press,
the Society of Professional Journalists,

College Broadcasters Inc.

More information on the awards is here, and the SPJ winners announcement is here.
