Delaware Press Association offers an annual High School
Communications Contest for student journalists statewide, with an opportunity
for those who win a first in the DPA contest to enter the NFPW national
competition. From time-to-time we offer seminars and workshops for high
school journalists and their advisers, focusing on issues such as ethics and
editorial responsibility, the new technology, and First Amendment rights and
responsibilities. We believe it is vital to support these bright young
future journalists and citizens, and we treat them as professional
colleagues.
First

Delaware Press Association and the Wilmington News
Journal are co-sponsors of the annual First State High School
