MULTIPLE FORUM STAFF MEMBERS WIN AWARDS AT CONFERENCE

from The Forum April/May 2023 Edition

SENIORITIS: THE END OF YEAR SICKNESS

On April 14, 2023, the UA Little Rock Forum attended the 2023 Arkansas College Media Association annual banquet. The staff took 9 people, and was delighted to appear among the other Arkansas publications working in the world of college media.

The conference took place in Searcy at the ever-extravagant Harding University. The hosts were generous, providing breakfast, courtesy of Chick-fil-A with chicken biscuits and a selection of sauces and jams.

There were many great talks to attend as there were three

50-minute session times with multiple topics to pick from.

These featured names such as Jack Allen of Channel 7 here in Little Rock and CEO of Arkansas Podcast Collaborative CEO Ty King, as well as an Arkansas Business Publishing Group Panel, Griffin Media, freelance panels and more.

Following these wonderful presentations, the lunch provided had two non-vegan options and one vegan. It was a great time as many programs received high praise they returned to form still recovering from the pandemic.

The Forum left with our arms loaded as we brought home 20 awards by the following staff members: Chloe McGehee, Bryan Hernandez, Skylar Boone, Emily Reynolds, Azalea Andrade, Maddie Becker, Joe Santana, Vivian Angeles, Andi Benbrook, Ahad Nadeem & Jacobb Nichol.

Leading the pack is truly a great leader by the name of Chloe McGehee who received Newspaper Editor of The Year for her work in growing The Forum. Photographer Jacobb Nichol also received third place for Photographer of The Year. The Forum also placed third overall in Newspaper General
