The California Journalism and Media Affiliates gave Jim Boren the Champion of Journalism Education award during the NewsTrain workshop in late April at Fresno State. The award was presented to Boren by retired high school journalism educator Ed Galdrikian and recognized him for speaking at educational journalism conferences and conventions around the state and volunteering at an inner-city elementary school to help underperforming students improve their reading levels. Boren’s passion for education issues in the Fresno area is seen in the many editorials he has authored.

Boren, the former executive editor of the Fresno Been, is currently the Institute for Media and Public Trust executive director and teaches news reporting at Fresno State. While the California Journalism and Media Affiliates give awards to educators at universities, community colleges and high schools annually, the Champion of Journalism Award is only given out occasionally.
