Newsroom Network

Picture
In celebration of our 100th anniversary, PSPA is excited to bring you Newsroom Network: A series of explainers, how-to sessions, and helpful tips that you and your students can use in your own newsrooms to take your journalism production to the next level!

​These monthly sessions (available 
FREE with your PSPA membership!), produced and/or hosted by advisers for advisers, will be announced each month via email, on paschoolpress.org, and across our social media platforms, and will take a variety of forms (some will be videos or presentations you’ll be able to download, while others will be live, interactive conversations via Google Meet). Regardless, all of our offerings will be available for you to access here at your convenience.

October 2024

Have your students or their publications ever been censored by an administrator? Have your students ever published (or wanted to publish) something that made you worry about losing your job as a teacher or publication adviser? Sadly, many of us have. The good news: You (and your students) can help do something about it!
