Two-hundred fifty high school journalists and teachers learned about ways they can put purpose at the center of their media programs during the 2022 GSPA Spring Awards ceremony on April 11, 2022, at the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education. Keynote speaker Keysha Lee, an award-winning show host and filmmaker, businesswoman and author, delivered the inspiring message. She defined purpose as “a sense that the work you’re doing is deeply needed.”
