Back to Sunnydale

The competition was fierce, but I was humbled and honored to find out that this here blog took first place honors in the semi-annual journalism awards competition this weekend put together by Mt.SAC's Journalism department in Walnut CA, honoring new media and contributions made by journalism students.

Sine I have been working on updating Mt.SAC's website for the last year or so, I thought, why the heck not? Why not enter? Never dreaming that it would be recognized. Blogs entered ranged from everything from Hip hop to politics to current events, and of course journalism. Though my blog primarily focuses on the achievements and trends in visual storytelling (i.e. comic books and graphic novels) and its primary existence is to advance this industry's accomplishments and to promote them, I have touched upon some of the other topics mentioned above on occasion, and will continue to do so.

I'd like to thank all the people who read it on a regular basis and I also would like to say that it was an honor to be up against such great blogs which also took home awards. Congratulations to all the winners, keep on blogging and continue to make insightful contributions in new media forms and in your future pursuits in journalism.
