Welcome to the Wyoming Student Media Association!
We have a new name and new logo, and we’re pretty excited about the change. Becoming WSMA is about including all the varying forms of student media and journalism that take place in the state of Wyoming.
If you are a student journalist or journalism advisor in Wyoming, then this association is for YOU. We exist to support student media. Come join us. We can’t wait to meet you.
Congratulations to our Wyoming Journalist of the year winner,
