2025 IHSPA State Convention

If you're tired of reading about how the "team came together as a family," this is the session for you. We'll share examples from professionals, discuss different story types, and show ways to creatively use graphics and statistics to make sports coverage pop. With strategies geared for web, news magazine and yearbook, we'll help you improve your publication's sports coverage.

A well-told story can only come after you've done all you can to prepare for the actual writing and editing. Regardless of medium — traditional narrative, digital, audio or video — the best stories come after the best preparations. We'll share tips and tricks for just that.

This session is inspired by Taylor Swift's book. It will show just how possible it is to generate a yearbook theme using pop culture.
