(Slimp) In the past, TPA has invited college journalists to participate in their “drive in” training event during their annual convention. This year, with the support of the foundation, a summit is being planned for collegiate journalists in the state. Thanks to the assistance of TPAF, the cost to attend this event is minimal. Student registration is $15 per student. Faculty registration is $50. This basically covers the cost of the governor’s luncheon with the state’s publishers. TPAF is underwriting the cost of the lunch for the students and the cost to provide leaders for this event. Lunch registration is limited to the first 60 students registered. Kevin Schwartz, called “ the dean of collegiate media,” is president of Schwartz Media Solutions, a firm based in St. Petersburg, Fla.

He is a favorite keynote speaker in the newspaper world and the facilitator of a recent survey of more than 600 newspaper publishers in North America.
