Giovanna Long attended the Washington Journalism and Media Conference the summer of 2021 while moving from Washington, D.C. to Columbia, SC.  She is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of her school’s paper and a member of her school’s yearbook staff. She is a junior in high school and a varsity cheerleader and softball player. Her time at WJMC was fun, eye opening, and invaluable to her, and she hopes every future WJMC alumni enjoys it as much as she did.
