 The Journalism Education Association [JEA] recently named John Cutsinger, Jostens senior creative accounts manager, one of six recipients of its Friend of Scholastic Journalism award. The award is given to any professional journalist, media outlet or individual who has made a significant contribution to scholastic journalism. "I am so flattered and humbled with this honor," Cutsinger said. "I just love the 'friends' aspect of the award. The friends who nominated me are 'greats' in scholastic journalism and it is heart-warming to know they respect what I do enough to submit me for consideration." Cutsinger, a former Dow Jones National High School Journalism Teacher of the Year, has devoted his entire career to scholastic journalism, serving 16 years as a journalism teacher and adviser to the newspaper, magazine and yearbook at three different high schools. Cutsinger has authored and edited a wealth of resource materials currently used in high school publications labs and classes. Cutsinger joined Jostens 20 years ago. In his position as senior creative accounts manager, travels the country teaching workshops and consulting with yearbook advisers and staffs as well as Jostens representatives. "Scholastic journalism education is such a unique niche profession with such life-changing possibilities," Cutsinger said. "And it's fun!" |
