CONVENTION GUIDELINES These guidelines are established to ensure that all convention participants have a safe and enjoyable stay in Indianapolis. GOLD

A midnight convention curfew will be in effect Wednesday through Saturday. Students should be in their rooms, making no excessive noise, at that time. The hotel reserves the right to remove any hotel guests who make excessive noise or create similar disruptions. Advisers/chaperones will be responsible for enforcing the nightly convention curfew. No students will be admitted to the convention without a school-approved adviser/ chaperone. At least one chaperone/adviser is required for every 12 students. It is understood that by the act of registering students for the convention, advisers assume responsibility for their students’ behavior and well-being during the convention. Chaperones should recognize they and their schools will be held liable for any damage to hotel facilities incurred by students under their SILVER supervision. Rudeness to hotel guests and employees; misuse of or reckless behavior on the elevators; excessive noise; destruction of property; or any other inappropriate behavior is not acceptable and can lead to expulsion from BRONZE the hotel and/or criminal prosecution. Should individual students, advisers or delegations prove disruptive, JEA/NSPA officials reserve the right to declare all fees forfeited and to send delegates home at their own expense. Breaking convention rules may result in disqualification from all contests and forfeiture of any awards won. Drinking or possessing alcoholic beverages, or possession/use of illegal drugs is absolutely prohibited. All students are expected to wear their convention name badges at all times while in the convention hotel. When outside the hotel, travel in groups. Your personal safety is our concern. Out of respect to instructors and the intellectual property of their sessions, please do not record presentations without first asking permission from the speaker(s) to do so.

KEVIN RADER

Multiple Emmy Award-winning reporter Kevin Rader joined WTHR-TV Channel 13 Eyewitness News in July 1990. In 2015, he was awarded a national Sigma Delta Chi award from the Society of Professional Journalists. That same year he also won a National Edward R. Murrow award for reporting. It is Rader’s second National Murrow award and seventh Regional Ed- ward R. Murrow award.

He also was nominated for Reporter of the Year in 2015 by the National Press Photographers Association. That brings his total number of Regional Murrow Awards to seven, including a prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award for writing in 2003.

Rader has covered many memorable stories for Channel 13, including the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York City, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Kosovo refugee camps in Macedonia and the Mike Tyson and Orville Lynn Majors trials. He spends much of his time covering politics on Eyewitness News, but expanded his responsibilities to include traveling the state to tell stories found “Only In Indiana.”

A native of Lexington, Nebraska, Rader received his B.S. in history from the University of Nebraska at Kearney with minors in social science and broadcasting. He was named Distinguished Alumni from UNK for 2007.

Additionally, he has been part of WTHR’s coverage of the Olympic games in Salt Lake City, as well as Australia, Greece, Italy, China, Canada, England, Russia and Brazil.

He has spent the last several years producing long-form news segments as part of WTHR’s Special Projects Unit, while still making contributions to daily newscasts.

Rhodes was the 2015 National Press Photographers Association Editor of the Year. He has been named Region 4 Photographer of the Year by the NPPA five times, and is a nine-time Indiana Photographer of the Year. His work has been recognized with a Peabody Award, a national Sigma Delta Chi Award, multiple national Edward R.

Prior to arriving at WTHR, he worked at WNDU-TV in South Bend, Indiana, and KHQA-TV in Quincy, Illinois.

Rhodes is a 1993 graduate of Northwest Missouri State University.

Telling Stories that Matter

Ducks flock to stories that demand telling. Innovation and curiosity lead us south, north, or wherever. We ask “if,” but we also ask “why” and “how” and “who.”

Sometimes, we ruffle feathers. We’re okay with that. See, each answer leads to a new question, so, we follow the crumbs that lead us to the truth.

Because above all, Ducks value truth. And crumbs. But mostly truth.
