Clackamas Community College Journalism Students Win 28 Awards (Photo) - 06/29/26

OREGON CITY — Student journalists at Clackamas Community College won 28 awards this spring in two college journalism contests. Among the awards were first-place prizes for photography, writing and website.

 

Students from The Clackamas Print, the student media organization at CCC, won 14 awards in the 2026 Oregon Collegiate Newspaper Contest, hosted by the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association (ONPA), and another 14 from the Pacific Northwest Association of Journalism Educators.

 

Evan Tichenor, a former editor-in-chief for The Clackamas Print, won a first-place award for a sports photo of CCC runners handing off a baton during a track event. Morgan Armitage, sports editor for The Print, won three awards from ONPA for her writing.

 

“It’s really exciting to be recognized as a writer and as a journalist,” Armitage, who plans to transfer to Lewis & Clark College this fall, said. “I’m very thankful for those I’ve gotten to work with at The Print.”

Outgoing editor-in-chiefs Jacob Graves and Gabriel Elmosleh both won awards for news and sports writing.

 

“This is the work of an incredible team of creative people,” Graves, who is currently interning at The Oregonian, said. “They’ve earned it.”

 

The Oregon Newspapers Foundation presented the ONPA awards at the annual Collegiate Day May 15 at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany. The Pacific Northwest Association of Journalism Educators announced its awards June 4.
