We have received so many requests for an extension this week that we are extending the deadline to enter the Better Newspaper Competition until Monday, December 12.
This gives you an extra 10 days to prepare your entries and it is after the upcoming New England Newspaper Conference which will be held virtually on December 8.
This conference has a broad, strategic focus, on the state and future of the industry. It is great content for students and faculty, as they prepare to enter the industry or are teaching about it. We have created a special ticket price for colleges and universities to pay a flat rate of $95, which will give access to any and all faculty and students that would like to attend!
This is the ticket link for the academic offer:
