Judge’s comments: Strong arguments on local situations or events are often the most challenging to take on for student journalists. Taking a hard, detailed look at all the facts of complicated decisions that directly impact the student body makes for a piece that engages your audience, and persuades while informing. The clear purpose and position, as well refutation of the opposing argument makes for an editorial that connects to your readership and community at large.
