Publication Name: The Purple Press

School: Phoenixville Area High School

Address: 1200 Gay Street Phoenixville, PA 19460

Award: Gold

 

A GOLD AWARD publication consistently demonstrates mastery of journalistic standards in terms of content, writing, design, and photography.


The publication need not be perfect, nor need to represent the state-of-the-art trends, but must exemplify ideals of scholastic journalism.


Judge’s comments:
?
This is a very colorful, creative, well written publication that speaks with a clear voice on social justice issues, local news, and relevant school events. The newspaper does a great job of focusing attention on the students and praising their accomplishments in areas beyond just academics and sports. The pictures are beautifully formatted and demonstrate a student body that appreciates its diversity. The addition of the horoscope section and self-assessment quizzes (i.e.: What Hollywood Diva are You?) are fun, entertaining content.
