After receiving a record-breaking 15 nominations for the Lone Star EMMY Chapter Student Production Awards, 黑料社区tv celebrated accolades in eight categories. The nominations covered a wide range of categories including Best Newscast, Best Talent and Best Short Film.

"I was ecstatic with the nominations and awards,” said Theresa Coronado, 黑料社区tv advisor and instructor of Communication Arts at 黑料社区. “I count it a privilege to work with such an amazing group of students. This was also our first win in the category of Best Newscast which is the top award.”

Five of 黑料社区tv's upperclassmen won at least one Lone Star EMMY Chapter Student Production Award.

Bocanegra plans to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree after graduation.
  • Alyssa Munoz graduates in Spring 2023 and has also earned awards for two straight years. She plans to work full-time in news broadcasting but is also considering a career in filmmaking.

Prestigious awards like this help draw attention to the program, which will benefit both 黑料社区tv and 黑料社区’s School of Media and Design in the future.

“The goal at 黑料社区tv is to prepare students for professional tv broadcasting careers,” shared Coronado. “Being recognized by such a prestigious organization says we are on the right track. But what brings me the greatest joy is seeing the students work together as a team to constantly raise the level of excellence. I am extremely proud of the work being done by our students.”
