ADVOCATE SHINES IN OREGON COMPETITION

Returning to publishing and posting full issues in 2022, The Advocate again scored a strong showing in the annual Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association (ONPA) competition for student-run newspapers.

In results announced during the May 5 Collegiate Day seminar and awards ceremony online by the ONPA, Advocate staff won four first-place awards and 17 staff or individual awards overall – capped by a clean sweep in the Best Section category.

The Advocate’s work was judged against that of peer two-year colleges across Oregon.

Other first-place awards came for Best Design, Best Columnist, and Best Feature Photo. No award for General Excellence was given by the ONPA, a departure from previous years. The following awards are for Advocate published during the 2022 calendar year:

Best Section: 1st Place, Entertainment 2nd Place, Opinion 3rd Place, Features

Best Columnist: 1st Place, Nell Little 2nd Place, Shalynn Robinett (Rivas)

Hi, I’m Lindsay! I work with The Advocate as a writer and photographer. I was adopted when I was 5 and since I was a little kid, I have always loved anything artsy. This is my second term here at MHCC. I am 18 years old, and after I graduated from Clackamas High School,

I decided to focus the next few years getting my AAOT, and one day I hope to be an art therapist for foster and disabled kids. Aside from school, a few things I enjoy are hiking, playing my guitar, making greeting cards and visiting my friends and family.
