SoCal JEA to Host Wake Up Call 2024

Wake Up Call 2024 is our half-day conference meant to inspire and awaken your scholastic journalism program from those summertime snoozies! Students MUST be accompanied by an adult if the adviser can not attend.
 
We can’t wait to see you at Santa Ana College on Saturday, Sept. 28. Registration and breakfast will begin at 8:30 a.m., with our opening beginning at 9:00 a.m. We expect the event to conclude by 12:30 p.m. 

We have Jason Shepard, interim dean at Cal State Fullerton's College of Communications, delivering a keynote on student press rights.

Some of the sessions we have scheduled are on page design, using AI in your newsroom , elections coverage, breaking news like a pro and fair use & copyright infringement.

Costume contest: Prizes for both students and advisers in the following categories - best staff pride "costume" 

Cost: $8/person per member school; $13/person per non-member school. Membership: $30/school, per year.
