A Meeting of the Kansas High School Journalism Minds

Adam Cole is headed to college; Julia Howell has one more year to go at Topeka High School

Another Al Neuharth Free Spirit and Journalism Conference is in the books. Launched in 1999 and named in honor of USA Today founder Neuharth, this year’s edition was held June 17-22 in Washington, D.C.

The conference gathers together 50 high school journalism students, one per state. In 2016, the representative from Kansas was Adam Cole from Topeka High School, who this summer is interning for the Topeka Capital-Journal before college in the fall. In a cool twist, the 2017 Kansas representative, also from Topeka High School, was interviewed by Cole for the paper.
