Critiques are one of the most helpful — and most popular — features of the convention. Staff members and advisers sit down with an experienced adviser or professional journalist and review their student media. 

Critique sessions are 25 minutes and provide a one-on-one opportunity for students and advisers to ask questions. Each critique session is $30 per staff. Sessions are available for the following student media:

Broadcast
Literary Magazine
Newspaper/Newsmagazine
Website
Yearbook

When registering for the convention, advisers may purchase and select from the available sessions. Special requests for times can not be accommodated.

Separate from the registration process, the adviser selects the students who will be attending the critique session, keeping in mind there are seven chairs at the table and others may have to stand. Do not register individual students for critiques — advisers register the student media staff.

The deadline for purchasing and reserving on-site media critiques is Oct. 17. Critique times are limited and often fill-up before the deadline. The final schedule will be posted on the convention website on Oct. 20.

All questions about the NSPA on-site media critiques should be directed to gary@studentpress.org.
