Welcome
Chico State is the first school in the nation to join forces with newspaper giant MediaNews Group to start a partnership to enroll and train minority journalism students.
MediaNews Group will provide Chico State with $59,000 over four years to encourage students from diverse ethnic backgrounds to pursue a career in journalism.
The MediaNews Group Journalism and Diversity Partnership will support visits to high schools and scholarships for prospective Chico State students. Current journalism program students have the opportunity to apply for internships at MediaNews Group newspapers and receive mentoring by professional journalists.
Chico State's journalism department has one of the top news-editorial programs in the country. The Orion, the school's independent student newspaper, has won the national Pacemaker award ten times. The award is considered to be the top prize in college journalism. The Orion was inducted into the Associated Press Hall of Fame in 2005 for its record of excellence.
