It was quite the run. The Hawks women’s soccer team closed the regular season with back-to-back wins by a combined score of 12-0. It was enough to secure the No. 18 seed in the playoffs. Then came the upset. Two second-half goals broke open a close game and sent 12th-seeded Feather River packing a...

Upset alert! Las Positas College

SAN JOSE — The text came from freshman midfielder Frank Hinostroza. And his message was clear. The Hawks were on the precipice of their biggest game of the season, facing Evergreen Valley — the No. 1 seed in the NorCal Region of the California Community College Athletic Association playoffs. And...

Saul Tecle, a freshman forward for the Hawks, rolled on the ground in pain. He had taken a shot chasing after a 50-50 ball with San Joaquin Delta’s Toussant Lilo. The foul saw Lilo earn a yellow card. The referee asked Lilo to check if Tecle was OK. All he got was a shrug. After all, it is the pla...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Leaders of The Express take home prestigious international awards

Four LPC journalism students recently received international acclaim for their work on The Express in 2022 and 2023. Three were recognized for excellence in writing. Another was recognized for excellence in design.

All four awards were from the Associated Collegiate Press, an international organization dedicated to promoting quality journalism at colleges and universities.

Lizzy Rager, former editor-in-chief of The Express, won 2nd place for 2023 Reporter of the Year for students at two-year schools. Her portfolio of work showcased four stories to garner one of the highest awards ever at The Express:

CLPCCD Trustee Luis Reynoso posts anti-LGBTQ+ content on LinkedIn https://lpcexpressnews.com/clpccd-trustee-luis-reynoso-posts-anti-lgbtq-content-on-linkedin/

Fake students steal money and class spots https://lpcexpressnews.com/fake-students-steal-money-and-class-spots/

District trustee Luis Reynoso’s ‘homophobic’ and ‘inappropriate’ remarks reprimanded at intense meeting https://lpcexpressnews.com/clpccd-trustee-luis-reynoso-censured-over-homophobic-social-media-and-inappropriate-and-harmful-conduct/

Rager is currently studying communication and political science at UC Santa Barbara. She is the assistant news editor for the college’s paper, The Daily Nexus. In her short time there, she has covered campus activism and county news.

“I’m more than elated to be recognized for my efforts at The Express. Working with its staff and advisers has taught me so much about reporting and helped set fire to my dream of becoming a professional journalist. I am extremely grateful for them,” Rager said. “With this acknowledgement, I will continue to report with diligence, creativity and a dedication to the truth — always with human stories at the forefront.”

CJ Flores, also a former editor-in-chief of The Express, earned Honorable Mention recognition for a sports feature he wrote in spring 2023. His profile — Hawks guard Isaiah Victor is getting exactly what he wanted — chronicled the leadership maturation of an LPC basketball star who went from ready to transfer to leading the team back to the playoffs. https://lpcexpressnews.com/hawks-guard-isaiah-victor-is-getting-exactly-he-wanted-2/

Flores just finished an internship with the San Francisco 49ers and will be studying journalism at the University of Oregon beginning this spring quarter.

“It’s a humbling experience and an honor for my work to be seen on such a big stage,” Flores said. “I’m truly grateful that my work is being recognized. I’m also incredibly thankful to the Las Positas media program. I’m so grateful for the guidance and inspiration that set me on the path to the career of my dreams.”

Current editors of The Express also earned high honors from the Associated College Press in the “Clips and Clicks” contest showcasing work from fall 2023.

Paul George, a copy editor and columnist, earned 2nd place in the Opinion category for “22 (Paul’s Version): A dad’s experience at a Taylor concert.” In the same contest, https://lpcexpressnews.com/22-pauls-version-a-dads-experience-at-a-taylor-concert/

The Express’ newly installed editor-in-chief Justin Gomes earned 5th place in the Newspaper Spread/Design category. The winning design featured his photos of LPC’s “Dia De Los Muertos” event. (featured image)

Gomes said he was honored to receive the award, especially considering it’s a product of focusing on the work. He’s hoping to bring that spirit to his staff this semester.

“When I did the original layout, awards weren't in my mind,” Gomes said. “I hope it can serve as an inspiration to future students.”

Gomes and his staff are preparing their first issue of the spring semester. The Express, along with Naked Magazine and Havik, will showcase even more of their work at ACP’s Spring National Media Conference in San Diego this March.
