We are back from the conference.
The above picture is from one of the three panels I sat in today. One was, basically, on student media troubleshooting. This one was about the difficulties student media are having at Tennessee State and Delta State. At TSU they’re getting stonewalled by their administration, at DSU, the entire program has been cut. These are bad scenes. I also sat in on a sports media panel, which was a lot of fun.
I’m exhausted. I ended up judging four categories, which cuts into your sleeping time. I think I’ve had 17 hours of sleep since Wednesday morning. So when I looked at the time and thought I’ll be asleep before 9 p.m. I was fine with that.
These guys are awesome:
That was the funny pose, of course, from Friday night. We left Atlanta this afternoon after receiving awards in the Onsite Journalism Championships:
Page Layout Championship: Honorable mention – Emily Featherston
Copy Editing Championship: 3rd place – Halley Smith
Sports Photojournalism Championship: 1st place – Sydney Cromwell
Hey, I’ve got the laundry started and I’ve had dinner. If you’re not exhausted, you’re doing it wrong.
