“The City of Carson continues to set the standard as the ‘Jewel of the South Bay,’ and this first-ever national recognition is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and excellence of our entire team. I am incredibly proud of our staff and grateful to our community for their continued support as we celebrate this historic milestone together,” said Mayor Lula Davis-Holmes.
Today, Carson’s Public Information Office is making a national mark by creating a new legacy for the city. Carson was recognized for its Short Public Service Announcement produced during a landmark shift for public safety. As the city transitioned from a "Safe and Sane" designation to a total ban on all fireworks, it launched its first-ever "Zero Tolerance" Fireworks PSA. This campaign was a masterclass in inter-agency collaboration, uniting the city, the Sheriff’s Department, and the Fire Department under a single, authoritative message. The campaign featured high-visibility street banners and a "United Front" featuring key public safety leadership.
The City of Carson has a rich history of Public Information Officers making an indelible mark on the field. Paul B. Clark, the city’s first long-time Public Information Officer, served for 16 years and was a founding figure of the Southern California Association of Public Information Officials (SCAPIO), which later became the statewide organization, California Association of Public Information Officials (CAPIO). Following his passing, the Paul B. Clark Award was established in 1985 to honor his legacy.
The National Association of Government Communicators (NAGC) presented 102 awards across 31 categories during the ceremony.
“The National Association of Government Communicators congratulates the recipients of this year’s highly competitive Blue Pencil and Gold Screen Awards,” said NAGC President Leslie Gervasio. “These honorees represent the very best in public service communication, demonstrating exceptional creativity, clarity, and impact in the way they inform and engage the public.”
