Satellite Staff Receives NEWSPA Awards
< Back
Staff members from Neenah High School's school newspaper, the Satellite, received several awards at the recent Northeastern Wisconsin Scholastic Press Association (NEWSPA) Spring Conference in Oshkosh. Students submit writing, photographs and/or cartoons that are critiqued by professionals working in the field of Journalism, which are then ranked in the state.
The highlight was the staff winning the best online publication for the second year. The staff also received a red ribbon for best large school newspaper not published in a Journalism class. In addition, the group participated in a general publication evaluation, which provided feedback on strengths and weaknesses of the paper.
Individual winners included editor-in-chief Annie Hartley, who won a blue ribbon for online photos and graphics and a white ribbon for online writing. Liz Detrie collected a blue ribbon for online writing and Skye (Emma) Geyer won a blue ribbon for editorial cartoons. Lydia Thomas also won a red ribbon for comic strips.
The advisor for the newspaper is Ms. Beth Plankey. The Satellite can be viewed online at http://moodle.www.neenah.k12.wi.us/satellite.
