State association awards third-place honor to csceagle.com

The Eagle’s website, csceagle.com, earned third place in the Best in Overall Excellence Digital Medium Division at the Nebraska Collegiate Media Association conference hosted Saturday at Doane College, Crete. Csceagle.com competed against five of the eight schools attending the conference in this media.

The Eagle’s website is no stranger to the NCMA awards. csceagle.com was launched in December of 2010 which made the website eligible to compete in the 2010-11 NCMA Golden Leaf Awards. On the year of the website’s birth, csceagle.com earned second best in the Overall Excellence Digital Medium Division. The following year csceagle.com stole first place in the same category, The Eagle’s adviser, Michael D. Kennedy, said.

“I got to be proud of these guys,” Kennedy said

There are ten individual categories providing individual awards within the digital medium category. T.J. Thomson, Ashley Swanson, and Kevin Olesky were of those students earning points for the website.

Going six months without a dedicated web editor didn’t stop csceagle.com from maintaining excellence, Thomson said.

“Each page editor would upload their own content instead of having one person to do it all,” Thomson said, “this allowed more time for innovation.”

The Eagle has been a charter member at the NCMAs, founded in 1992.
