Des Moines Register tech writer Marco Santana, right, conducts a Q&A with students in a write-off contest at the 2014 IJEA Fall Conference. Santana delivered the conference's keynote address, and students competing in the contest wrote a news feature about him. This year's keynote will be delivered by a panel of staffers from DNAinfo Chicago on the topic of the newsroom of the future.

Save the date for #IJEA15!
