EWA announces theme and date of 2015 conference

The Education Writers Association is pleased to announce that its 68th National Seminar will be held April 20-22, 2015, in the heart of Chicago. Hosted by the Urban Education Institute of the University of Chicago, EWA’s flagship annual conference will focus on “Costs and Benefits: Covering the Economics of Education.”

“Nearly all aspects of the education beat involve matters of money,” noted EWA President Scott Elliott. “And in today’s newsrooms, navigating tight budgets has become an essential survival skill. That’s why we think this is a great theme for next year’s conference.”
