Several advanced journalism students received awards on Saturday during the Generation J Day event at CSUN. About 100 students from about a dozen high schools in the Los Angeles area attended the event, sponsored by CSUN’s journalism department and the SoCal Journalism Education Association.
Ten DPMHS newspaper and yearbook staff attended the event and several won in the write-offs. Managing Editor Natalie Moore received first place in News Writing, Staff Writer Zach Adler received third place in Opinion Writing and Yearbook Editor and Newspaper Copy Editor Ana Perez received honorable mention in Photography.
Cartoonist and Staff Writer Sheena Gonzalez received a $100 scholarship for designing the winning logo for the SoCal JEA.(click on the link to see Sheena’s logo on the organization’s website). The Pearl Post staff gets a pizza party, too, since Sheena’s logo won.
