Letter from the PresidentJeff CarterNEWSPA PresidentAt my school today, a group ofabout 50 students walked out oftheir third-period classes in support of the students of ParklandHigh School. Members of thecommunity showed up to supportthe cause, the police were present to monitor the demonstration,and the local media was there too.As the advisor of our school’sstudent newspaper I used this opportunity to discuss the role of thejournalism and the students’ rolein how to cover this situation.The first thing we discussed isdoes it need to be covered. Theanswer is a resounding yes. Thisis an event that is topical, affectsthe students, and has conflict. It isnews, it needs to be covered.The next step is determining whoto cover the event. In our case, thepaper had to avoid conflict of interests. We have several staff members of the newspaper who arefriends with those who organizedthe walk out. These students cannot write the story because theywould have a difficult time fairly interviewing the students and fairlydiscussing the event. A news story needs to state the facts and letthe audience form their opinions.Next was getting fair coverage.Covering the event needs to havethe voices of the students andthe voices of the teacher or administrators. Even if the principalNEWSPA 2018makes no comment, that personmust have the opportunity to havea voice present in the article.What should you do if the principal tells you and the students thatthey cannot cover the walk out orprint a story about it. Suppressinginformation because it makes theschool look bad is a violation of thestudents First-Amendment rights.If they try to, contact us, and wewill help you fight.The same is true in regards towriting an editorial or column aboutthe event. A student has the rightto comment on these the event.This could take the form of a criticism, praise, or suggesting otherways to express support.This has been a great learningexperience for the student journal-ists, and I encourage you to bringthese issues into your class andyour publications.Photo by: Nikki BrahmNEWSPA President Jeff Carter reading an issue of the high school newspaper he advises The Hartford Chronicle.03

NEWSPA moves to online contest submissionsZackry WieseJournalism StudentThe Northeastern Wisconsin Scholastic Press Association fully implemented an online submission processfor both newspaper and yearbookcontest entries this year that aimsto make the submission processsimpler and more cost-effective.Instead of the lengthy and resource-consuming process ofyears past, NEWSPA went digital(except for publication entries),which will save postage costs forschools, NEWSPA and the manyjudges. The process should alsosave time and create less confusion than the former system.The previous process of submission for the yearbook and newspaper contests included mailing inprint issues of the newspaper oryearbook with the actual submission circled in red, then those issues were sorted and sent out tothe judges. The judges would critique them and mail them back tothe journalism department, whichwould then create certificates forthe winning entries and sort themby division and school so theycould be returned to the students.This may sound simple, butwhen you have hundreds ofsubmissions, some things usually don’t go as expected. CindySchultz, academic associate tothe Journalism Department, is responsible for the NEWSPA contests and she is the one who hadto deal with the issues that arosewith the submissions.“Many times, the entries werenot circled, and it was up to me toguess which story they were trulyNEWSPA 2018submitting,” Schultz said.With the new submission method this will no longer be an issue,since schools must submit a PDFof the pieces they are submittingby email. No more confusion andred circles.Another issue that thenew submission methodsolves is the cost. Insteadof the expensive andcomplicated process ofmailing the submissionsto the university, then tothe judges, then back tothe university and eventually back to the schools,all the submissions arenow emailed to the university and put into a database as they are sorted.NEWSPA Public RelationsAssistant Taylore Radtkesaid the new method is alot simpler for the newspaper and yearbook advisers.“It is a lot cheaper forthe entire organization;there’s no mailing or printing, which was a lot of thecost. The new methodtakes a lot less time,” saidRadtke. “After talking withadvisers, they said that itis a lot easier to submitthings rather than handwrite everything and sendit to us, (and) then thejudges.”Submitting the work byPDF over email will benefit the participating students as well. Instead ofwaiting a few weeks fortheir awards to be mailedto them, they will have instant access as soon asthe conference is over.05“We will generate certificates tothe various place winners, andthen we will put together emailswith judge’s comments that will godirectly back to the students assoon as they get on the bus afterthe conference,” Schultz said.Infographic by: Tristan Groth
How to prepare for a job that doesn’t exist yetTristan GrothJournalism StudentDo you Instagram yourmeals or outfits of theday? Do you write clevertweets? If so, maybe it’s time youturn these obsessions into a paycheck.If social media is your addiction,wouldn’t it be great to use that addiction to design and implementcampaigns for a company and getpaid? That is what UW Oshkoshalumna Reegan Wallander didwhen she was hired as the socialmedia community engagementadviser for Kohl’s.She will speak at the 2018NEWSPA conference on April 18about finding a career in an unknown field, while also encouraging others to take a leap of faith tofind their niche in the ever-changing field of social media. Her session begins at 10:10 a.m. in Reeve221.“Even if it’s just one person, I’mmost excited about that possibilityto inspire someone to consider acareer in social media,” Wallandersaid. “I am very passionate aboutwhat I do and I hope my sessioncan light a spark in someone tolook into professions within thisfield.”During her session, she plans toexplain some of the options thatare available within social media.One of the biggest hurdles foranyone choosing a social mediacareer is trying to explain it and getpeople to wrap their minds aroundwhat it entails, Wallander said.“There are going to be peoplewho scoff or don’t think it’s a serious job that could lead to success,” she said. “Ignore thosepeople and do what makes youhappy.” According to Wallander,it is important for students to realize their education is in their ownhands.Social media is constantlychanging and updating, and Wallandar said it is crucial to be on topof trends and events as they impact whatever industry they are in.“A lot can happen in five years,especially in the highly innovativeworld we live in,” Wallander said.“I predict we’ll be seeing a lot ofcrossover among social platformsas they continue to compete witheach other and try to be ahead ofthe game.”Meet NEWSPA board member Beth PlankeyAndrew SheaJournalism StudentBeth Plankey has used herNEWSPA experience as aboard member, as a presenter and just as an attendee tohelp increase her knowledge andskill in the ever-changing journalism field.Plankey is a teacher and adviser for the Neenah High School online newspaper, the Satellite.She graduated from UW Oshkosh in 1992 as the first journalismeducation student, and has taughtspeech, English and journalism atNeenah High School for the past25 years.Plankey said she first presented at the NEWSPA conference in1991 about the results of an independent study in which she sur-NEWSPA 2018veyed journ a l i s madvisersacross Wisconsintodeterminethe level ofcensorshipas a result ofthe famousH a ze l w o o dcase.Shehas present- Photo courtesy of: NEWSPAed at the annual NEWSPA conference numerous times since thenon a variety of topics.Plankey said she owes her involvement in NEWSPA to GaryColl, who founded NEWSPA nearly 50 years ago, to Gene Hintz andSkip Zacher. All three were journalism professors at UW Oshkosh.Plankey said she will bring her06staff to this year’s conference.“The staff is motivated and manyfresh ideas are a result of the feedback we receive on our work,” shesaid. She also said networkingwith other NEWSPA school members strengthens their scholasticjournalism program.“NEWSPA fills the valuable roleof collaborator and resource of local districts who support scholastic journalism,” she said.Plankey said she’s beenamazed by the growth of NEWSPA and the conference since herinvolvement. “The innovation ofthe organization to gain members,increase participation and offersupport to local school districts isexceptional,” she said. “NEWSPAhas always featured leaders whoare budget savvy, resource richand student centered.”
