MIDDLE SCHOOL CRITIQUES
Kansas Scholastic Press Association is once again offering their critique service for middle schools.
CRITIQUE TYPES
KSPA offers the following types of critiques:
- Regular Yearbook or Newspaper Critique: For $25, your yearbook or newspaper will be critiqued along with a rating certificate and the copy of the critique.
- Annotated Yearbook or Newspaper Critique For $35 your yearbook or newspaper will receive an annotated critique along with a rating certificate and the copy of the critique. Annotated suggestions are printed on sticky notes and left on the actual printed pages.
- Website: For $20 submit your website URL for critique. Website entries will have certificates and critiques mailed back.
- Broadcast: For $20 submit up to five broadcast segments 3-5 minutes in length via YouTube. Segments may be news, feature, weather, sports, and/or review in any combination. Broadcast entries will have certificates and critiques mailed back.
Judges are experienced with middle school programs either as past advisers or as past middle school judges. The purpose of this critique is to showcase the good points of your programs and suggest areas of improvement. With this in mind, you will receive several helpful comments.
DEADLINES
June 3: Middle School Yearbook (spring delivery), News Publication, Website or Video Critiques
Sept. 23: Middle School Yearbook (summer/fall delivery)
