MIPA Consultations & Critiques
Sit down with one of our coaches to do a critique of your media program’s recent work, to talk through your plans for the year or to get another perspective on a project.
Bring copies of your newspaper, current yearbook work or a flash drive of your video production to discuss with a media professional or with an adviser who has built a reputation of excellence in scholastic journalism. Critiques are scheduled by appointment. Please note: WiFi may not be available in the consultation area.
