Jostens, the leading provider of publications, jewelry and consumer goods serving the K-12 and college market, today announced that 12 of its schools are being recognized for creating some of the best journalistic yearbooks in the U.S.
The Jostens schools are among those being honored as Crown Finalists by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA), based out of Columbia University in New York City. The CSPA judges the top yearbooks according to journalistic standards. Find more information on the 2017 Crown Finalists here: http://cspa.columbia.edu/yearbook-2017-crown-finalists-announced
“Behind every outstanding yearbook staff is a committed Jostens representative who helps them develop and craft award-winning yearbooks that students, staff and the community are proud of,” said Murad Velani, Jostens chief operating officer. “The schools, students and staff produce exceptional work, and it’s with great pride Jostens gets to partner with them on their award-winning journey.”
The nine high schools and three middle schools, which partner exclusively with Jostens to produce top-of-the-line publications, created exceptional yearbooks during the 2015-2016 school year. In all, 72 yearbooks were recognized as Crown Finalists.
During the 2016 National High School Journalism Convention, which runs Nov. 10-13 in Indianapolis, Ind., Jostens’ 12 Crown Finalists will be prominently displayed at the company’s interactive lounge and honored at the Adviser Appreciation Dinner.
The Jostens schools will learn whether they are earning Gold or Silver Crown honors at the CSPA Crown Awards, which take place March 2017 in New York City.
