Congratulations to the following KSPA-member staffs for earning All-Kansas status for their news publications, news websites and video news publications during the 2023-2024 academic years.
This year, our judges critiqued a total of 18 news publications, 9 news websites and 3 video news publications. 12 of those publications were awarded with All-Kansas distinction. Completed electronic critique booklets will be emailed to all advisers.
Each All-Kansas school earns an All-Kansas Plaque. Plaques will be awarded at the State Celebration on May 4.
We thank all staffs for participating in our critique service, despite all of the challenges that the pandemic provided to Kansas student journalists. It is very hopeful to see so many brilliant staffs continuing their coverage.
Please contact KSPA by email with any questions or corrections.
