TST staff brings home 39 awards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The clock was ticking as students raced to turn in videos, pictures and stories live at Texas Intercollegiate Press Association\u2019s (TIPA) annual convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The convention, held in Fort Worth, had live contest events for students to compete in, including our very own The South Texan<\/em> staff. The event also included the announcement of winners in pre-published contests from works in 2022. In total, The South Texan <\/em>brought home 39 awards, a reported record for the student journalism program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The South Texan<\/em> staff competed individually in several live contests, but also competed together in the first live multimedia contest hosted by TIPA, in which the team placed first overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo say that I am proud to serve as the faculty adviser for this group of talented student journalists is an understatement. They rise to each challenge placed before them. They take their role very seriously, and they have proven time and time again they are not only strong journalists, but are creative as well,\u201d Media Adviser for The South Texan, KTAI 91.1FM <\/em>and Javelina Broadcast Network<\/em> Nicole Morris said. \u201cWhat\u2019s even more impressive is that in many contest categories for the pre-published contest, all of the staff\u2019s entries placed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morris was also voted the new president of TIPA for a two-year term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the convention students also attended workshops on topics ranging from finding stories to using Photoshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe student journalists of The South Texan<\/em> give their time, skills and creativity each week to tell the stories of Javelina Nation.  I\u2019m proud of the work they do every day, but having their work be recognized statewide gives them confidence that they are on the right track. I know they will continue to thrive here, and in their careers,\u201d Aryssa Enriquez, assistant general manager of student media said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, The South Texan <\/em>brought home 13 first place awards from the live and pre-published contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlacing in the competition period was a goal I had in mind when we arrived at TIPA, but placing four times and bringing back a first place was surprising, but it\u2019s what I came to do. So, I was definitely happy more than anything when it came down to my result,\u201d Opinion Editor and former Sports Editor for The South Texan <\/em>Dylan Sanchez said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanchez also attended TIPA last year and said his favorite part of the convention is competing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New to TIPA convention was Jessica Tijerina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tijerina started taking pictures for The South Texan<\/em> in Spring 2022, and placed second in the Live News Photo contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was very nervous at first but after talking to some of the other students and getting encouragement from my friends I felt so much better. It was so nice being in my element and capturing some great moments,\u201d Tijerina said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tijerina was proud of the work she did and was excited to share the news with her parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the live contents students compete against student journalists from all over Texas regardless of university size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m so grateful to have this experience,\u201d Editor-in-Chief Ronni Reyna said. \u201cEach year I\u2019ve been a part of The South Texan<\/em> we\u2019ve broken personal records, and got more awards than the previous year. I\u2019m so proud of our editors and students, they work so hard and it\u2019s a privilege to see that hard work pay off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next TIPA will be held in San Marcos at which the staff plans to once again bring home more awards than the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
