Twelve college media organizations captured top honors at the David L. Adams Apple Awards during the 2008 Spring National College Media Convention, attended by more than 1,300 advisers and students, in New York City. The awards, long a feature of the spring conference, have been renamed to honor Adams, a longtime College Media Advisers stalwart and adviser at Indiana University, who died in 2007.
