Why did they randomly name newspapers during the bee?


Whenever they gave a kid's name, they also named a newspaper. I did not understand this.

eg "Eliza Lastname, Oakland Tribune."

That wasn't during the bee. That was the scene after she won where her father has all these newspaper and they are all about her.

The sponsors of the local spelling bee competitions are the major local newspapers of the various districts. (I was the Miami Herald 2nd runner up in 1981.)
