2013 STATE JOURNALISM CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS

The NSAA was involved in two journalism projects in 2012-13: the fall clinic and spring state championships. The State Journalism Championships were held on May 13, 2013 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The top-12 places from the preliminary judging, event champions in Classes A1, A2, B, C, and D, and alternates were invited to compete in the State Contest. The one-day championship event is sponsored by the Nebraska School Activities Association, the Nebraska High School Press Association and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The annual fall clinic and Nebraska High School Press Association convention, an event receiving NSAA support, was held in Lincoln on October 15, 2012.
