MS Yearbook Named Crown Finalist By CSPA

Marti Lotman
The Columbia Scholastic Press Association has recognized Benjamin’s middle school yearbook staff for their excellence in journalism, nominating the publication as a Crown Finalist in the hybrid category of print and digital media. The Azimuth is the only Middle School yearbook nationwide to be awarded such a high honor. he publications submitted to the CSPA are judged on their excellence as shown by their design, photography, concept, coverage, and writing.
 
"It's difficult to put into words the hard work and dedication it takes to create stellar publications, and that goes for both the students and the faculty,” said faculty advisor Nick Crisafi.
 
“The fact that both of our middle school publications, The Neersyde and the Azimuth, have been recognized in the past year as Crown award winners is a testament to the students' diligence, dedication, and talent, and the strength of our program. These journalistic and artistic accolades, coupled with the consistent excellence of our Upper School publications, makes The Benjamin School's journalism program one of the most exceptional in the country."
 
The CSPA will hold an awards ceremony at Columbia University in March to announce the final crown award winners. The middle school news site, The Neersyde, earned the coveted Gold Crown award from CSPA last year.
 
Congratulations to all the Azimuth students!
