The NSAA was involved in two journalism projects in 2000-01: the fall clinic and spring state contest. The State Journalism Contest was held on April 28 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The top 12 places from the preliminary judging and event champions in Classes A1, A2, B, C and D were invited to compete in the State Contest. One hundred and ninety students from across the state competed in the one-day event sponsored by the Nebraska School Activities Association and the Nebraska High School Press Association. The annual fall clinic and Nebraska High School Press Association convention, an event receiving NSAA support, was held in Lincoln on October 23.
