The Associated Collegiate Press is the nation’s largest and oldest national membership association for college student media.
College Media Advisers represents the people who advise the nation’s collegiate newspapers, yearbooks, magazines, electronic and online media.
As a non-profit educational association, ACP is committed to providing professional services to its student members.
With more than 700 members from coast to coast, CMA has supported both new and veteran advisers of college media programs since 1954.
They publish The Pacemaker, an annual showcase of award-winning student work, as well as a Model Code of Ethics and Student Media Sourcebook.
CMA serves students and advisers at two national conventions. It sponsors the Fall National College Media Convention with Associated Collegiate Press, and it sponsors the Spring National College Media Convention each March in New York City. The spring 2009 convention is March 14-16, 2010, at the Marriott Marquis on Times Square.
ACP’s Best of the Midwest College Newspaper Convention is in Minneapolis Feb. 11-14, 2010, and the National College Journalism Convention is set for Phoenix on Feb. 25-28, 2010. With your membership in ACP comes eligibility for national competitions for your staff. Your newspaper, magazine, yearbook or online publication could be named one of the best in the country through Pacemaker, Best of Show or individual award competitions. ACP also provides publication critiques and sponsors several national and regional conventions and workshops.
Members of CMA stay informed about their business in several ways. The CMA newsletter informs members of trends and news, and College Media Review is the leading academic journal on advising collegiate media, both print and electronic. Advisers with Internet connections also participate in a national discussion list. For more information, contact us at The University of Memphis, (901) 678-2403.
