Speakers and Teachers

It’s been nearly five decades since MIJA first offered a statewide day of celebration and study of journalism in Missouri. JDay 2018 marks the 49th day MIJA members will meet on the MU campus to hear a keynote speaker, attend workshop sessions and celebrate scholastic journalism and explore journalism as a collegiate major or career path.

MIJA would like to thank you for considering presenting a session at the well-known JDay, or possibly considering jumping in on the ground floor of the expansion of MIJA’s workshops to the regional level.

In the fall of 2016, MIJA held its first regional workshop at East Central College, near St. Louis, thanks to a partnership with ECC faculty. In 2017, this fall regional workshop headlined amazing speakers and doubled its attendance numbers!

The MIJA Board of Directors is encouraged by this show of interest. The directors feel outreach is essential to supporting our many teachers and student members spread around Missouri.

We welcome any expertise and any topic of relevance to middle and high school student journalists and their teachers/advisers. If you’d like to see a taste of what’s been taught before, visit this link.

As a speaker/teacher, the benefits to you and your business/organization are also many fold, including:

  • recognition on speakers list linked for each event on the MIPAjournalism.org website
  • recognition in the workshop program distributed to students and teachers in attendance
  • the considerable gratitude of MIJA’s members, board of directors and students across the state of Missouri
