INDIANAPOLIS – The Society of Professional Journalists is pleased to announce three scholarship winners in the 2011 High School Essay Contest. Hundreds of public, private and home-schooled students in grades 9-12 submitted essays on the topic “Why is expression through independent media important?”
Professional and student SPJ chapters served as judges for the local round of the contest. First place local recipients advanced to the national round of judging that took place in April. The national judges were from SPJ’s Washington D.C. Pro chapter.
