There’s still time for your newspaper to sponsor one or more schools in your coverage area. The cost is just $50 per school for the current school year. KPA can bill you or even deduct the sponsorship fee from your next KPS ad revenue check. Or we even take checks or credit cards.
If you’d like to sponsor your local schools, call or e-mail David Greer, KHSJA administrator at (800) 264-5721 or via dgreer@kypress.com and he can set it up. Schools must be KHSJA members to participate in the annual statewide high school journalism content. Member schools also have access to KHSJA-sponsored training workshops and they can attend the annual KHSJA convention.
Nearly 900 high school journalism students and teachers from around Kentucky attended the 2009 state convention which featured former AP Middle East Bureau chief Terry Anderson as the speaker.
