GSPA partnered with the Atlanta Hawks in 2005 for the Press Pass
Program. Fifteen journalism and broadcast students were selected to
attend a Hawks game, participate in all press activities and produce
their own journalism piece revolving around the Hawks. Participants
were able to interview players, coaches and organization officials,
and the winning journalism entry was published in "Hawk Talk"
magazine and the winning broadcast piece aired on Fox Sports
South. The following photographs were taken at the Atlanta Hawks
vs. Boston Celtics game on April 1, 2005.
