For local high school journalists, the quest to become a State Champion commenced once again when the Pennsylvania School Press Association opened up its Fifth Annual State Journalism Contests. On October 19, 24 students from southwest Pennsylvania traveled to Indiana University in the hopes of advancing to the State Finals held at Penn State Main Campus on March 27, 2019.

​PSPA President Paul Fantaski expressed his appreciation for several aspects about the event.


“It just amazes me how institutions like IUP and the Indiana Gazette truly advocate and super-support journalism in Pennsylvania schools. On behalf of PSPA, I simply must thank Hastie Kinter and Eric Eberling from the Indiana Gazette, as well as Stan Mukasa and Michele Papakie from Indiana University of Pennsylvania for their willingness to host a SJC Regional on October 19. Most importantly, 12 student journalists from outstanding southwestern PA schools will advance to the State Championships.”

Contests involved literary design, photography, copywriting, sports-writing, editorial cartoon, broadcast media, and poetry talents. Only the top-scoring competitor in each Regional contest category qualified to attend the State Finals.

PSPA proudly announces the following students as 2018-19 State Finalists:
  • Cassie Shoupe - Yearbook Caption Writing - Kiski Area HS
  • Celia Chickerella - Yearbook Sports Writing - Kiski Area HS
  • Kelly Hollinger - Yearbook Spread Design - Kiski Area HS
