Picture Perfect

Photographers Kayla Ebner and Dashawn Long critique their images during the ACP/CMA Summer Workshop at the University of Minnesota on June 15, 2016. On assignment, the students shot photos in Dinkytown near the campus before returning to the lab to edit the photos and write captions before sharing them with the class. In 2011, the ACP workshop adopted a handson approach to training and moved to campus abandoning a more lecture-oriented approach hosted in urban hotels.

Auction Action

On the final evening of the Gloria Shields NSPA Media Workshop, the auction is a popular attraction. Students earn “Dallas Dollars” in their classes and bid on prizes big and small. Auctioneer Mitchell Franz (inset) keeps the crowd entertained. The popular workshop is held in Dallas each summer and attracts approximately 600 students from around the country.

Something To Celebrate

The Best of Show competition has been a popular offering at conventions since 1986. The highly competitive contest ranks student media represented at the convention. The Nordic News, Inglemoor High School (Kenmore, Washington) staff takes a selfie to celebrate its second place award for its website during the awards ceremony at the 2022 Los Angeles convention.

EARLY IN 2023, ADDITIONAL CONTENT, INCLUDING A COMPLETE INDEX FOR THIS BOOK, WILL BE POSTED ON THE NSPA/ACP WEBSITE.
