“The Feather Takes NYC 2016,” this is the last of six videos as apart of a mini series while in New York. The video will be published daily and will account for their various activities during the week. The Feather Online has been nominated to receive a CSPA Gold Crown award; one of the most prestigious online high school newspaper award. A group of 16 Feather staffers have taken the streets of Manhattan in anticipation for this event. While in New York, they will be touring historical landmarks, tasting different foods and shopping at world-renowned stores. Also, the editors and advisors will be teaching four different sessions at Columbia for the CSPA annual Spring Convention. All footage is filmed and edited by Tim Nyberg, Jarrod Markarian and Jaden Ventura.

Ending the last day at Columbia University, Feather staffers attended a couple more sessions before the awards ceremony. Sessions included a CSPA Crown award overview, tips and tricks of photography and the basics of running Periscope. To wrap up the convention, the CSPA award ceremony took place in the convention hall where everyone met at the beginning of the week. The Feather was awarded a Gold Crown in the digital news section. To celebrate this prestigious accomplishment, the Feather staff ate in the Hell’s Kitchen area of New York as their last meal together.
