NSPA News & Notes

Bryan Hess and Sarah Schaeffer of the Penn Points newspaper, Penn Manor High School, Millersville, Pa., were chosen as winners of NSPA’s $1,000 Brasler Prize for 2011.

Hess and Schaeffer’s story, “Life has a different meaning for juveniles tried as adults,” was selected by Wayne Brasler, for whom the contest is named, from the five First Place winners in print categories of the NSPA Story of the Year contest. Brasler’s comments on the winning entry, which placed first in the Feature category:

In a story few student newspapers would conceive much less pursue, the Penn Points staff established and continued correspondence with juveniles who had been charged as adults for their crimes and were serving life sentences in adult correctional facilities in Pennsylvania.

The impetus for doing the story was Pennsylvania having the most juveniles with life sentences in the United States of any state. Writers Hess and Schaeffer used excerpts from correspondence with the juveniles, choosing to preserve them as written without correcting grammar or punctuation. This decision results in quotes which deliver information at multiple levels and ring with truth. They are backed up with facts and figures, as well as observations from interviews with a variety of experts dealing with juveniles from the criminal justice system. The story repeatedly comes up startling but within an environment of intelligence, balance and equal respect for all sources.

This is challenging and venturesome journalism, but also highly educational with impact to readers of any age or background.  The writing approach is simple, fluid, conversational and consequently compelling.  There’s nothing extraneous and nothing obvious. Everything about this unusual and courageous project seems just right.

Wayne Brasler is a longtime media adviser at the University of Chicago High School who served for many years on NSPA’s Board of Directors and authored multiple editions of the NSPA Newspaper Guidebook.

A note on Newsmagazines:

The 2011 NSPA Newspaper Pacemaker judging team made the decision to move a group of publications from the regular newspaper categories to the newsmagazine category under the supervision of NSPA. NSPA reserves the right to re-categorize publications based on its standards in order to ensure that like publications are competing fairly in its contests.

A newsmagazine possesses certain characteristics, which are outlined on page 19 in the NSPA Newspaper Guidebook. Three key elements are: a graphically or photographically-focused cover with teasers to inside coverage, a table of contents and coverage of special topics in a centerspread, as featured on the cover. See the guidebook for an in-depth explanation.

Questions about the re-categorization of newspapers to the newsmagazine category may be directed to contests@studentpress.org.

Are you the best? Show us what you’ve got.

Over the course of 16 volumes, Best of the High School Press has been the premier showcase for award-winning student work by and for members of the National Scholastic Press Association.

Only publication content submitted as PDF files is considered for Best of the High School Press. (This does not apply to sections of the book honoring winners of NSPA’s contests, such as the Pacemaker, Of-The-Year and Best of Show awards.) PDF files can be sent to NSPA either online or by mail — see details below.

Using PDF submissions results in a Best of the High School Press publication with better reproduction quality, more up-to-date content and a more comprehensive selection process.

How to enter your publication’s work for Best Of selections

• Choose the content you wish to submit from your 2010-11 publication (see our recommendations, below)
• Create PDF files of each page, spread or graphic at the highest possible quality (click here for instructions for creating PDFs)

Send your PDFs to NSPA in one of two ways:

• Upload your PDF files to NSPA using our online submission form, or
• Create a CD of the PDF files (the face of the CD should have your publication name and type, school name, contact e-mail address and “2011 Best of the High School Press Submissions” written on it), and mail it to

  NSPA Best of the High School Press
  2221 University Ave. SE, Suite 121

  Feel free to include the CD with your critique or Newspaper Pacemaker entry if you’re sending one this spring/summer.

2010-11 publication PDFs should be received by July 15, 2011, to be considered for publication in Best Of.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will the next Best of the High School Press be published?
The next edition of Best of the High School Press, Volume 17, will be published in early 2012 and will contain student publication content drawn mostly from the 2010-2011 school year.

Does submitting PDFs for Best Of enter the work in any other contest or judging?
Complete, printed newspaper issues/yearbooks/magazines will still need to be submitted for critiques or Pacemaker contests. However, any digital files entered in individual contests, such as Design of the Year, Picture of the Year or Cartooning Awards, will automatically be included in the Best of selection process, so any content entered in those contests can be excluded from Best of submissions.

What can I do to improve my chances of getting something from our publication selected for Best Of?

• DO send as many PDFs as you can (at least 8-10)
• Please DON’T send PDFs of entire newspaper or magazine issues. If you do, be sure to suggest some of the best material from it as a starting point for judges.
• If you have strong content in less prominent areas of your publication, such as yearbook academics/clubs pages or newspaper opinion pages, DO include them in your submissions. As always, there will only be room for so many Page Ones, newspaper centerspreads or yearbook divider spreads in Best Of, so the competition in those areas will be tougher.
• DON’T include digital files submitted as entries in individual contests such as Design of the Year, Picture of the Year or Cartooning Awards, since all digitally submitted contest entries will automatically be included in the Best Of selection pool.
• DO check your publication’s NSPA membership status to make sure it’s current, and renew if necessary. A current membership in NSPA is necessary both to have work included in Best Of and to receive a copy of the book when it is published.

How can I get technical support for making PDFs or uploading them to NSPA online?
You can find full instructions for making PDFs from either InDesign or Quark by downloading these instructions. If you have other questions or concerns, e-mail us at info at studentpress.org. The two most important instructions, in brief: generate PDF files at the highest possible quality (Press Quality or PDF/X-4), and export all two-page publication spreads as single-page PDF files.

NSPA inducted two member publications into the Hall of Fame at the 2011 Spring JEA/NSPA National High School Journalism Convention in Anaheim, Calif., on Saturday, April 16. High Tide newspaper from Redondo Union High School and The Moor Weekly newspaper from Alhambra High School were both inducted into the Hall of Fame.

High Tide earned its 10th All American in August of 2010 and also placed as a Newspaper Pacemaker finalist in 2009 and 2005. The newspaper is advised by Mitch Ziegler, who also advises the Pilot Yearbook at Redondo Union High School. High Tide placed sixth in the Newspaper Special Edition category of the 2011 NSPA Best of Show contest in Anaheim.

NSPA inducted The Moor Weekly newspaper into the Hall of Fame under special circumstances. NSPA was recently approached by the Los Angeles Times in regards to The Moor Weekly’s former adviser, Ted Tajima, and his recent passing. Tajima built a reputation of excellence while he served as a journalism instructor and the adviser to the student newspaper for 35 years from 1948 to 1983. NSPA researched The Moor Weekly’s critique and award history and found that the newspaper had earned well over 10 All Americans in a row through the NSPA critique service during Tajima’s time as adviser, but that the publication had never been inducted into the Hall of Fame. In honor of Tajima’s legacy, NSPA inducted The Moor Weekly into the Hall of Fame at the convention in Anaheim. The publication is currently advised by Mark Padilla.

In 1987, the NSPA Hall of Fame was established for member student publications which have earned 10 All American ratings from the publication critique service within an 11-year span. Hall of Fame inductees receive a special honor plaque to mark the induction and are added to the NSPA Hall of Fame plaques, which are displayed at our JEA/NSPA high school journalism conventions.

New Hall of Fame inductions are made twice a year. The complete list of Hall of Fame members is available on our website.
Advisers who believe their publication has achieved Hall of Fame status may apply for the Hall of Fame by writing a letter indicating the name of the publication, the years the publication received All American ratings and publication/adviser contact information. Mail the letter to NSPA Hall of Fame, 2221 University Ave. SE, Suite 121, Minneapolis, MN 55414. The letter must be received by Sept. 15 to be inducted at the fall convention or Feb. 15 to be inducted at the spring convention.

Adrienne von Schulthess, editor-in-chief of the Urban Legend newspaper at the Urban School of San Francisco, has been selected as the winner of the $1,000 NSPA Wikoff Scholarship for Editorial Leadership out of 66 total entrants.

In recognition of his service to the National Scholastic Press Association as its executive director in the 1970s, NSPA has offered the Wally Wikoff Scholarship for Editorial Leadership since 1998. Entrants must submit three published editorials and must also possess at least a 3.5 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale. A recommendation letter from the publication adviser is also required.

Adrienne served in several roles for the Urban Legend, including reporter, opinions editor and editor in chief during her three years on staff. The Wikoff scholarship judge made the following remarks about her entry:

“I was impressed with the level of research and context she used to frame her opinions, and with her ability to localize and personalize issues of national significance. I thought an anecdote her adviser included chronicling how Adrienne rewrote part of a lengthy editorial on deadline was quite telling: Adrienne did a piece on the closing of Guantanamo Bay. Just before press time, Pres. Obama gave an unexpected statement that impacted the column. A lot of things are done and redone on deadline in a newsroom, but generally not opinion columns! She obviously understands her role as a public servant. And she is committed to having a healthy dialogue with her peers about the important issues of the day through her writing.”

Read Adrienne’s editorials here.

Molly Misek, assistant managing editor of The Network newspaper at Marian High School in Omaha, Neb., has been named the winner of the $1,000 NSPA Journalism Honor Roll Scholarship out of 57 entries.

Journalism Honor Roll scholarship applicants must possess a cumulative 3.75 grade point average on a 4.0 scale and also submit an essay on why they plan to choose a career in journalism. The publication adviser must recommend the applicant.

In a recommendation letter to NSPA, adviser Marsha Kalkowski, MJE, made the following remarks about Molly:

“Molly continues to impress me with her dedication to detail and her desire to make everything she does the absolute best. She is indispensable. She writes well, photographs with an artistic eye and designs like a professional. Molly also motivates her peers and edits with the gentleness of a seasoned editor.”

Read Molly’s scholarship essay here.

Kelsey Reid, editor in chief of The Echo at St. Louis Park High School in St. Louis Park, Minn., and Meghan Morris, co-editor in chief of The Spoke at Conestoga High School in Berwyn, Pa., were chosen as runners-up in the Journalism Honor Roll scholarship contest. Each will receive a $500 scholarship to the university they plan to attend this fall.

All four scholarship recipients will be recognized at the Spring JEA/NSPA National High School Journalism Convention on Saturday, April 16, 2011, in Anaheim, Calif.
