Take a look at the scenery the guests got a chance to see this past Saturday night at Walsworth’s Adviser Appreciation Dinner in Seattle.
At each JEA/NSPA Convention, Walsworth hosts its adviser dinner. This past weekend’s event was held at the Columbia Tower Club, overlooking the Puget Sound and downtown Seattle.
Improve your stories by getting great quotes with a technique used by psychiatrists.
That was just one of the great interviewing tips from the session, “Improving your copy: writing articles, not essays,” given at the JEA/NSPA Spring National High School Journalism Convention in Seattle on Saturday, April 14.
Hey convention attendees: you have nothing but opportunity in the the field of journalism.
That’s according to Jennifer Sizemore, who oversees the global editorial staffs of MSNBC.com and TODAY.com. In her keynote address to the Spring JEA/NSPA National Scholastic Journalism Convention in Seattle Thursday night, she told the Milleniums they are more diverse, wired, mobile and online than previous generations. She reminded them that they constantly consume information from all types of electronic devices — smartphones for starters — from many sources, and she said anyone who claims to know what technology holds for the future of journalism is wrong.
The JEA/NSPA Fall National High School Journalism Convention is this week in Seattle, and the Yearbooks Blog will be there. If you will be going to the convention, we want to hear from you as well.
We want to read the fun stories of your travels, what your yearbook staff is learning in the sessions, what’s going on down at the exhibit floor.
