By David Greer The Kentucky High School Journalism Association hit the century mark plus one during the current school year. No, not years. KHSJA has only been around for a dozen years but has 101 member schools for the 2008-09 school year. But we want more. And once again Kentucky’s newspapers have been very supportive of high school journalism. Of the 101 member schools, 73 percent have had their memberships paid by a sponsor. And 67 percent of the schools have had their membership paid by one or more local newspapers. While the end of October was the end of the annual KHSJA member enrollment period – at least technically – there’s still time even now to sponsor one or more local schools. Sponsorship is only $50 per school for the school year and allows member schools to attend workshops, enter the annual KHSJA contest and attend the annual state convention. If your newspaper would like to sponsor a school, just give yours truly a call at (800) 264-5721 or e-mail me at dgreer@kypress.com and I can complete the paperwork here. Remember, we can bill you if you want but we can also deduct the amount from your paper’s next KPS ad revenue check. Or, we even accept checks or credit cards. Here is the complete list of KHSJA sponsors by the 2008-09 school year:
