Macleay College magazine wins national
journalism award
Macleay College is proud to announce that its student journalism magazine, Sydneysider, has been awarded the prize of Australia’s Best Student Publication.
The independent award is given each year by the Journalism Education Association of Australia (JEAA), with this year’s judging panel stating: “The standard for best student publication was extremely high and choosing a winner wasn’t easy. However, Sydneysider from Macleay College stood out for a number of reasons. The breadth of articles was extraordinary and all were finely honed and perfectly fit for publication.
“No articles felt like fillers, all read as though they had been crafted by passionate, young journalists. The words, images and design all work together as a cohesive team to create a high quality publication with an abundance of interesting reading material.”
All journalism students who attend Macleay College have the opportunity of publishing their work in Sydneysider, with guidance and editing from our high-quality teaching staff.
Journalism students attending Macleay College in 2012 will be the college’s first group to publish a regular online magazine of student work, which will further enhance the credibility of Macleay College’s award-winning journalism course.
