Another year is in the books. As we head into 2018, let’s reflect on nine 2017 moments you most liked on our Instagram.
MCJ Showcase
It was a night of honors, laughs and respect for the media, communications and journalism (MCJ) department at Fresno State as it celebrated the end of a year’s achievements on May 3 during the MCJ Showcase of Excellence.
The showcase, hosted by MCJ 159 class, honored work from each MCJ option: multimedia production, broadcast journalism, print journalism, advertising and public relations.

Newspaper Factory
The Collegian team took a trip to see how its newspapers get printed. The Sanger Herald invited The Collegian to tour its printing facilities this year and gave a look at how our papers go from our computers to the kiosks on campus and to your hands.
Our paper is printed by Mid Valley Publishing Inc., which also prints newspapers for several other local newspapers.
