Critiques are one of the most helpful — and most popular — features of the convention. Staff members and advisers sit down with an experienced adviser or professional journalist and review their student media.
Critique sessions are 25 minutes and provide a one-on-one opportunity for students and advisers to ask questions. Each critique session is $30 per NSPA-member staff and $45 per non-member staff. Sessions are available for the following student media:
- Broadcast
- Literary Arts Magazine
- Newspaper/Newsmagazine
- Website
- Yearbook
