Please review the linked information below for your assigned newspaper programs. This information includes background about the school, information about the journalism program and a statement from the adviser about any special situations or unique circumstances. We hope this information helps guide your commentary in the critique. This year, because so many of our members were only able to publish digital PDF editions instead of print due to remote learning, MIPA allowed our members to submit entries as PDFs. Links to PDF editions are included in the background document.
Please offer plenty of useful feedback. We suggest you find at least 1-3 positive things to say for each area of the judging guide and 1-3 recommendations for improvement - regardless of the score in that area. In other words, we want to see encouraging, constructive criticism.
