Far from Crown Point, 29 representatives of the Crown Town Media converged staff members flew to Philadelphia for the JEA/NSPA National High School Journalism Convention. The convention drew almost 4,000 students from all 50 states with participants from eight countries around the globe.
Industry experts work together to offer over 400 different sessions and competitions for students to learn more about journalism and improve aspects of their schools’ media programs. The students on the converged media staffs of Crown Point High School are excited to compete in the convention’s Best of Show after being named a Division III Hoosier Star Winner by the Indiana High School Press Association in January.
“It is such a cool opportunity that we get to do things like this. Conventions offer the chance to both learn from other schools and have our work critiqued so we can continue to better those around us and ourselves,” Excalibur Yearbook Co-Editor-in-Chief, Aadil Khan said.
