Keynote speaker Professor Rich Beckman, of the University of Miami, told student journalists to prepare to work in a world of multimedia storytelling and citizen journalism.

The New York Times Web site is No. 1 (most of the journalists are under 30) now in this area and NPR has assembled a team of the best from The Washington Post and other sites moving quickly to develop a high-quality multimedia Web site, Beckman said.

In ACP student newspaper publication competition, area award winners included UCLA, USC and Los Angeles City College.
