Six West Gazette staff writers attended the SWSC Journalism conference at Lincoln-Way Central in January with seven other schools. They heard presentations from investigative news reporter Ben Bradley of WGN TV, Jennifer Lyons, the president of CBS 2 Chicago news, Sandy Pudar from CBS 2 Chicago news, Allison Kaleta, community relations specialist and former sports reporter, and fashion influencer Angela Kenney. Ben Bradley shared a photo of the event on his social media. Senior Emmah Bouchari won third place in the editorial competition at the event for her story “The Freedoms of Social Media.” It is always a fun and informative event where students involved in local journalism clubs and school newspapers attend keynote and breakout sessions with various speakers in the field of journalism.
