March 24, 2025<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

National Scholastic Press Association, the nation\u2019s largest association for scholastic journalists, has named approximately 1,500 high-school journalists as recipients of its Leadership Award in Student Journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNSPA is pleased to honor such a distinguished group of student journalists,\u201d associate director Gary Lundgren said. \u201cThe leadership demonstrated by these students during their two years working on student media will serve them well for careers in journalism or any future endeavors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To earn the NSPA Leadership Award in Student Journalism, a high school student must serve with distinction for at least two years on the staff of an NSPA-member broadcast, literary arts magazine, newspaper\/newsmagazine, specialty magazine, website or yearbook by the end of the current school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students are nominated by their advisers. A specific grade-point average is not required; however, students must be in good academic standing and demonstrate journalistic excellence and staff leadership while maintaining the high ethical standards outlined in the NSPA Model Code of Ethics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recipients receive a certificate of recognition and are eligible to wear the NSPA Leadership in Student Journalism teal honor cord at graduation, as well as being listed on the NSPA website and on the pages of the Best of the High School Press. The new leadership award complements the academic recognition through the Quill and Scroll International Honor Society for Student Journalists,<\/a><\/strong> which is part of NSPA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
