And of course, we couldn\u2019t do it without our dedicated faculty and staff, who train and challenge the students to give their best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The win this year was extra special, as Knightly News Alumna and current ABC News Correspondent Marci Gonzalez, &#8217;05, was the keynote speaker for the convention and presented the award to the Nicholson School. (\u201cShe found it a little tough to contain herself during the ceremony, but started jumping up and down right after it!\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>This the second time that Knightly News has received this award, the first coming in 2008. Since then, Knightly has been a runner up three straight times, from 2013-2015. \u201cLooking back, that\u2019s as much of an accomplishment as anything else,\u201d said Dr. Brown. \u201cYear in and year out, our students are recognized as one of the top college newscasts in the state, and that challenges each group as they come in to our program. But yeah, now the bar is raised a little bit!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To watch this year\u2019s Knightly News broadcasts, as well as other programs from Nicholson Student Media, check out the School\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nicholsonstudentmedia.com\/knightly_news\/webcasts\/\">live stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Story by the UCF Nicholson School of Communication View original story here.
