Arbiter Recognized at National Conventions

The Arbiter, Boise State�s independent, student-run newspaper, received national recognition at conventions in Los Angeles and Philadelphia this month.

At the College Newspaper Business and Advertising Coordinators, Inc., convention in Philadelphia on March 11, The Arbiter was named best in the nation among newspapers with less than 40,000 circulation for spot color display ads and second for classified group promotions. More than 85 schools competed.

The Arbiter was named one of the nation�s top college newspapers at the Associated Collegiate Press (ACP) national newspaper convention March 5 in Los Angeles. Judges from major Los Angeles media tapped the paper for honorable mention in the large category, which includes large-format newspapers printed weekly or twice weekly. More than 140 schools competed at the convention.

�Once again, national organizations have recognized that The Arbiter is among the top rank of college newspapers,� said Dan Morris, the paper�s faculty editorial adviser. �When we go to these conventions, people see we�re from Boise State and instead of giving us the high five and saying �Blue turf!� they�ve told us, �Oh, yeah. The Arbiter. You�re a Pacemaker winner. We check you out online for ideas.� �
