The Journalism Education Association released its new guidelines and rubric for its Journalist of the Year contest. KSPA administers the JOY contest for Kansas, then forwards the state winner to JEA to compete in the national competition.
The 2013 JOY contest allows for students to present a digital portfolio — a website, interactive electronic book or a mobile app. Digital entries must be accompanied by a print guide for the judges.
In addition, the deadline for submission of entries has been pushed back two weeks to March 1, 2013.
To read more about the JOY competition and to download the proper forms, go to the JEA website and to the KSPA web page.
Two Kansans have won the national award: Amanda Allison in 2007 and Libby Nelson in 2005. Both students graduated from Shawnee Mission East High School.
