Journalism[edit]
Shalhevet's news source is The Boiling Point, published seven times per year in print and on the web since April 2010 at www.shalhevetboilingpoint.com. It has won national awards from the National Scholastic Press Association, Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and Quill & Scroll International Honorary Journalism Society, including six NSPA Story of the year awards and more than two dozen national awards for reporting and photography and three for layout and design from CSPA and Quill and Scroll.[citation needed]
The Boiling Point was a finalist for both the NSPA Pacemaker and CSPA Gold Crown awards for its 2011-12 editions,[2] and named a Crown winner in March 2013 and again in 2014. In June 2013 it was awarded two Simon J. Rockower Awards[3] from the American Jewish Press Association (AJPA), after becoming the first high school publication ever to enter the contest. It won a third Rockower award in 2014.
The paper went online in April 2010 and in November was awarded First Prize, Multimedia Story of the Year, by the NSPA in its first year, followed by two Multimedia Story of the Year Honorable Mentions the two years after that. In October, 2013, it hosted the inaugural national conference and Shabbaton of the Jewish Scholastic Press Association (JSPA), co-sponsored by Shalhevet and the AJPA. Keynote speaker was Gary Rosenblatt, editor and publisher of the New York Jewish Week, and the meeting received press coverage on both coasts.[4]
