Kelsey O’Connell, editor-in-chief of The Bulldog Tribune and a senior at Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn, is the Virginia High School League’s 2010 Student Journalist of the Year and Charles Savedge Scholarship recipient. She is the twelfth winner in the contest’s 20-year history to be selected from the Northern Region.
In November, while Virginia journalism teachers and students joined thousands of their compatriots from across the country at the NSPA/JEA convention in Washington, DC, one of the founding fathers of and great friend to Virginia’s scholastic journalism programs passed away after a short illness. Bert Smith was a key part of the team in the 1960s when he and others, along with Col. Charles Savedge, “Mr. Yearbook,” began developing an evaluation system for Virginia’s high school publications. They first accepted yearbooks for judging at Washington and Lee University and then moved to Virginia High School League in Charlottesville.
Congratulations to the Virginia Crown finalists! This is Salem's Lanconian's Staff - one of this year's finalists.
