Al Neuharth Free Spirit and Journalism Conference

The Conference Overview
​
The purpose of the Al Neuharth Free Spirit and Journalism Conference is to promote the vital role of the First Amendment as a cornerstone of democracy and to inspire students to pursue journalism careers.
​
“Free press, free speech and free spirit.
The first two are easy to grasp:
Free Press: The freedom to print or broadcast without censorship.
Free Speech: The freedom to speak without compromise.
Free Spirit is harder to define.
Free spirits dream, dare and do. A free spirit can also be a risk-taker, a visionary, an innovative leader, an entrepreneur or a courageous achiever who accomplishes great things beyond his or her normal circumstances.
The Freedom Forum is committed to nurturing freedom across the USA. We hope the information on this website will inspire you to join in our mission to promote free press, free speech and free spirit for all people.”
From Al Neuharth, Founder of the Free Spirit and Journalism Conference

Reflection Project
Journalism Education Association National Convention: CHICAGO 2018
In the fall of 2018, I decided that I wanted to explore my love for Journalism at the national convention level. Though I did not have much experience with journalism write-off competitions at this time, my adviser approached me about entering a solo write-off competition. I was only a sophomore at the time and this seemed very scary to me. But, I took the opportunity anyways. My courage resulted in receiving an "Honorable Mention" for competing in the "Broadcast Anchor" competition. I enjoyed this trip and experience very much. I got to explore the beautiful city of Chicago and this was the first time I realized my own potential in the world of journalism .
