Santa Fe Site for Youth Conference
K risten Go, a former high school journalist of the year and part of a Pulitzer prize winning team, will be the keynote speaker at the Youth Editorial Alliance fall conference, Oct. 18-21 in Santa Fe, N.M.
The Journalism Education Association named Go, now a reporter at the Arizona Republic in Phoenix, high school journalist of the year in 1994. Just six years later, Go was part of a reporting team at the Denver Post that won the Pulitzer for breaking news for their coverage of the Columbine High School shooting.
Following the Columbine tragedy, Go continued to write follow-up stories on youth violence and violence in schools. She now covers education for the Republic.
