writing contest

"Why are free and independent news media important?" The Society of Professional Journalists want to know what your students think and are sponsoring a national contest to find out.






I thought this might be a good essay for a journalism class and/or exam, extra credit. National first place is $1,000 scholarship; second is $500 scholarship; third is $300 scholarship.







I am the Michigan coordinator for the contest. Michigan advisers should contact me for the information and entry form.





Those in other states should go to http://www.spj.org/a-hs.asp for information on where to send your essays.





Postmark deadline is March 5, 2010.
