PRSSA partnered with the News Literacy Project for the 2023 competition. The non-partisan, non-profit education organization has built a national movement to advance the practice of news literacy through American society. Their goal is to inform, engage and empower individuals to ultimately create a stronger democracy.
PRSSA received 49 entries for the 2023 competition, and of these submissions 12 were awarded honorable mention and three were chosen as finalists to present their campaigns to a panel of judges on May 4. UFCJC students will compete against Louisiana State University and University of Colorado Boulder – The Daily He(a)rd.
Previously, UFCJC received first place in both 2011 and 2015 and second place in 2012, 2013, 2020 and 2022.
Earlier this year, the UFCJC Public Relations Department was named the 2023 PRWeek Outstanding Education Program.
