KEMPA connects people through its website, email reminders and events promoting learning, and thus has incredible power to create community. Similarly, KEMPA is committed to bringing individuals together and building personal and professional community—at the Fall Scholastic Journalism Conference and throughout the year.

At this year’s Fall Conference, join us at UW-Whitewater in Whitewater, Wis.

The conference offers 70-some sessions and unlimited networking opportunities for you and 1,000 students who attend each year.  The 2020 Fall Conference Committee is seeking proposals that reflect the best practice in the field, informed by experience and cognizant of multiple media: web, magazine, newspaper, yearbook, broadcast.

The committee invites proposals that may include practical instruction, demonstration, inter-activity, presentation or lecture on journalism-related topics:

• press law and ethics
• all forms of writing for media
• photography and Photoshop
• layout and design and InDesign
• reporting and interviewing
• advertising
• community involvement
• multimedia
• social media
• broadcast
• yearbook
• literary magazine

You might consider teaming up with another teacher to co-present.  Please submit your proposals to Linda Barrington at [email protected].
