After Christmas the Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) at Columbia University in New York published a Scholastic News Digital Critique for The Feather’s efforts during the 2013 calendar year. For the second year in a row, CSPA awarded Fresno Christian High School’s newspaper top scorebook honors; The Feather earned all three All-Columbian honors and a Gold Medalist placing, scoring 983/1,000 points.

Additionally, The Feather Online earned one of 10 Gold Crown nominations as one of the best digital newspapers in the United States. This is the sixth year in a row The Feather has earned a Crown from Columbia University but the campus paper will only find out whether it is Gold or Silver during the upcoming March journalism convention in New York.

For these and other events, read The Feather Online announcements at the Daily News on the right menu bar. The FC Underground segments consist of news, interviews, profiles and comments on campus life. Each episode is between two and three minutes in length.

In the fall of 2009, editor-in-chief Suzanna Quiring , ’10, resumed the series, which was then produced by Paige Powell, ’10. After Quiring and Powell graduated, Brooke Stobbe and David Casuga took up the job until the end the 2011-’12 school year. Now, Fries and usually senior Jared Franz have continued the segments.
