a first place award for the second year in a row, Peninsula High
School’s Outlook had an exciting showing at the JEA/NSPA Best of
Show competition in Phoenix this past weekend. The
considerations for grading included quality of design, content,
photography and editorial leadership.
Nicole Pinto, Outlook editor in chief, was a runner-up for
Journalist of the Year after claiming the title at the state
convention in March. She was one of six students in the nation
to receive this accolade. Nicole will graduate this year along
with 14 other seniors.
“I don’t think of the Journalist of the Year as my award,
because the best of my work was inspired by the people I worked
with,” she said. “Winning Best in Show was a great conclusion to
four years of hard work and inspiring staff members.”
Managing editor Sarah Hiraki, who received a Superior rating in
the Advertising write-off competition, also reflects on the joy
of winning such a prestigious award and what this class hopes to
leave behind.
“I think we earned it. This year has been a lot of hard work and
realizing our goals of being bold and professional,” Hiraki
said. “We’ve been growing and progressing as a staff over the
past four years, and I hope that legacy we’ve left helps Outlook
grow and change into something new.”
The convention drew around 3,000 and was attended by many
journalists from Washington. Besides submitting their
publications for awards, student’s attended journalism related
classes and participated in write-off contests. For a complete
