Tradition of excellence
The Advocate is one of the most honored two-year college newspapers in the United States, having won 11 Associated Collegiate Press National Pacemaker Awards since 1990, nine of those in the last 10 years. The newspaper was inducted into the ACP Hall of Fame in 1996, and has been cited by ACP officials as being one of the best examples of small-college journalism.[ [http://www.newsweek.com/id/51589/ College Papers Grow Up] , Nick Summers, Newsweek, Dec. 5, 2005] ]Advocate reporters and photographers cover the campus, which rests halfway in San Pablo and halfway in Richmond in the East Bay Area. The students cover topics ranging from crime on campus, to student profiles, sports and local entertainment. The tradition of The Advocate has always been to chase news stories and focus on the hard news.
