SANTA CRUZ, CA–City on a Hill Press, a weekly newspaper produced by students at the University of California, Santa Cruz, received 23 awards in recent national and statewide journalism competitions, including honors for overall design, photography, news and feature writing, and advertising design.
The paper received twenty Gold Circle Awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) and three awards from the California Intercollegiate Press Assocation. The awards honor work published in 1993.
"This staff has worked really hard to try to push the limits of what we’re doing," said Steve Palopoli, editor-in-chief for the 1993-94 academic year. "The design staff has been really sharp, always asking themselves ‘What can we do that people don’t expect us to do?,’ and the writing staff has also been doing that. People have just really been pushing it. I had a sense things were going well, and this confirmed that."
