North Springs High School senior theo slade won the poster design contest, according to the JEa.
The Journalism Education Association’s annual celebration of Scholastic Journalism Week is coming up Feb. 23-27 with a theme of “Press Under Pressure.”
Congratulations to Theo Slade, a senior at North Springs High School, on winning the poster design contest.
The following is more information about Scholastic Journalism Week from the JEA’s website:
In an era of contested truth and rampant misinformation, "Press Under Pressure" highlights the vital role of student journalists as they navigate free expression, institutional oversight and ethical reporting. Despite facing censorship, scrutiny and limited resources, young reporters demonstrate resilience and a deep commitment to truth and civic responsibility. More than a theme, it’s a call to support and protect their right to report fearlessly, as their work strengthens our democracy.
Throughout the week, and throughout the year, we invited you to use hashtags #SJW2026 and #PressUnderPressure when you share works of journalism from your staff, reminding your community of the importance of scholastic journalism.
Schools are invited to submit to be featured on JEA social media during Scholastic Journalism Week 2026. Staff will email a certificate to featured schools' administrators to acknowledge and celebrate the great work you are doing.
