Why is the newspaper always referred to as the award-winning Orion?
The Orion is a 10-time winner of the National Pacemaker award for general excellence, considered by many to be the top prize in college journalism, and was inducted into the Associated Collegiate Press Hall of Fame in 2005 for its record of achievement. The California Newspaper Publishers Association has named The Orion the state’s best university newspaper a record eight times since 1994.
