Upcoming Press Conference

Celebrating the Student Press in Washington state!

SPI Reykdal will make a statement in support of a strong student press in Washington state, as we celebrate four years since Washington’s Student Press Rights “New Voices” bill was signed into law by Gov. Inslee.

A panel of 12 student journalists from schools around the state will then pose questions on topics of concern to their peers.

Student journalists, civics and social studies students are encouraged to attend!

Register student groups of up to 20 using this link.

Emerald Award and Critique Submissions Now Open

It’s time to showcase student work as well as get some feedback from critique judges from around the country.

Submit your yearbook, website, newspaper/newsmagazine or broadcast program for critique and/or Emerald Award, which is the highest award presented by WJEA. Submissions must be made by Sept. 20. Emerald Award winners will be announced at J-Day, Nov. 1.

All members of WJEA are eligible to have their student media critiqued. The cost of the critique is $40, payable to the Washington Journalism Education Association. Submission into the critique automatically makes the media eligible for the Emerald Award.

New this year, WJEA is offering a Publication Audit in addition to the critique. This “Super Critique” (which includes submission to Emerald, the standard critique as well as the audit) is open to Washington State publications only and costs $80. Individuals interested in the Super Critique should contact Sandra Coyer ([email protected]).

Publications just wishing to enter the Emerald Award contest need to pay the $30 fee and submit the media the same way as if for critique.

Please follow the links below to enter each publication separately.
