A Whatcom Community College student received a college journalism award from Pacific Northwest Association of Journalism Educators (PNAJE). Carrie Bell, who served as the photo editor for WCC’s student newspaper The Horizon, placed first in the photo essay category for “Glass arts: Fire it up!” about a visit to Morrison Glass Arts studio in Bellingham.
"This year's competition showcased stellar student work on a range of pressing topics, from toxic algae to the coronavirus," said Beth Slovic, president of PNAJE. "Winners should be especially proud that their entries stood out in a very crowded field."
