Congratulations to The Crimson White's Daniel Roth for winning first place nationally in the Society of Professional Journalists' 2013 Mark of Excellence Awards category for Best Use of Multimedia.

Roth, a senior telecommunication and film major, was honored for his "Stepping Through" video, which documents the last 50 years of racial progress at UA, and the challenges ahead.

A team of Crimson White writers and editors, including Roth, also finished in fourth place nationally in the Hearst Journalism Awards team multimedia contest, for last fall's stories and videos related to allegations of racial discrimination within UA's sorority recruitment process. The Hearst entry included work from Roth, Abbey Crain, Matt Ford, Mazie Bryant, Mark Hammontree, Deanne Winslett, Mackenzie Brown and Austin Bigoney.
