Baron Banner and Yearbook students attended the annual OCJEA Write-Off at Cal State Fullerton last weekend.
OCJEA is the Orange County Journalism Education Association that encourages young writers and photographers to learn more about the fields and how to improve on their skills.
After attending news conferences, students spent an hour typing up their articles. Photographers walked around the campus taking pictures which they would later submit. The results were astounding.
