Image magazine, a quarterly magazine published by TCU Student Publications, has been judged the nation’s best student magazine by the Society of Professional Journalists, and three TCU student journalists have also been named by SPJ as among the top three nationally in their respective categories.

SPJ announced Wednesday, May 16, that Image has been named National Winner of its Mark of Excellence Award as best student magazine. The judging was based on the four issues published during the 2006 calendar year. The 2006 judging period overlaps the selection and hiring of two editorial staffs.  The Spring 2006 editorial staff included editor-in-chief Jenny Eure, managing editor Alison Rubinson; design editor Brian Wooddell, and photo editor Stephen Spillman. They were succeeded in Fall 2006 by editor-in-chief Darren White, managing editor Kathleen Thurber, design editor Ky Lewis, with Spillman returning as photo editor.

The national winners and finalists were announced as the culmination of competitions in which collegiate journalists submitted more than 3,300 entries in 39 categories. The MOE Awards recognize a national winner and two national finalists from among the first-place winners in each category from each of 12 regions in the U.S.  TCU competes in Region 8, which comprises Texas and Oklahoma.
