When will you hold the last newspaper in your hands? What gives you hope in this challenging time for our industry? And what’s the past tense of “tweet”? We have no idea. So, we passed our questions along to the talented journalists who were brave enough to enter our confessional.

Confession Sessions is an attempt by the ONA Student Newsroom to find answers to the tough questions facing journalists today.

Look for the confessional — and new questions — on Sunday near the ONA registration desk. (Update: Confession Sessions: Day 2 is posted.)
