April 28, 2016
Apart from their time producing content for the members of the Westside community, several Westside Journalism staff members used their talent at the 2016 NSAA State Journalism contest held Monday April 25 at Northeast Community College in Norfolk. Students in their selected categories submitted work created in a timely manner with information they were given by the contest. The various categories included, but weren’t restrained to: advertising, editorial writing, newspaper feature writing, news writing and layout.
