The South Texan participated in the annual Texas Intercollegiate Press Association (TIPA) conference and competition held in San Marcos April 10-12, and student journalists brought back 29 awards, including Overall Excellence \u2013 Newspaper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This semester The South Texan experienced a redesign by Editor-in-Chief Jacob Daniels. This was Daniels\u2019 second TIPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe wouldn\u2019t be able to do it if we weren\u2019t such a close team. I think that at the end of the day I couldn\u2019t do it on my own; the only reason I\u2019m doing it is because of my team. The only reason we won all those awards is because we are a team. So, I think winning those 29 awards is not really falling on my shoulders, it\u2019s really falling on how successful of a program we are,\u201d Daniels said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many categories in which to compete at TIPA, including a hype video competition in which a school has roughly two days to put a TIPA hype video together for use the following year. This is an event The South Texan dominates, successfully completing a three-peat with Creative Director Dominic Valdez and Digital Editor Ciana Cortez at the helm of it all winning once again and besting Division I schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was a great experience, going to TIPA. You never know what to expect or what you\u2019re going to find there. I was definitely pretty nervous going in and I thought for sure some of the colleges have great programs, like UTRGV and Baylor, they have great programs, they have great people doing video there. So, I wasn\u2019t quite sure if we were going to take it, but in the end it all worked out for us,\u201d Valdez said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
