The Youngstown Press Club is launching the Scholastic Journalism Awards, a journalistic writing contest for high school journalists, with a focus on print and broadcast journalism and other media.
We are encouraging high school students from Mahoning, Trumbull, Columbiana, Lawrence and Mercer counties to compete in 12 categories. In addition, we are seeking the Scholastic Journalist of the Year and Journalism Adviser of the Year. We at the Youngstown Press Club believe that a high school news curriculum is often where the seed is planted for young people to develop into great journalists. Many working journalists today got their start in Valley classrooms. We hope to encourage local high school students to start on the path to a career in journalism by recognizing the great work going on in Valley Schools.Read more here. 2024 Scholarship winners announcedThe Youngtown Press Club has announced its scholarship winners for 2024.
This year's recipients will be Molly Burke, a junior at Youngstown State University, and Merrick Morneweck, a senior at Pennsylvania State University. x Recent Events
