Online Pacemaker finalists announced

Congratulations to the ACP Online Pacemaker finalists!

Judging began with 137 very competitive entries. The 30 finalists were chosen by a panel of three experienced, top-notch journalism professionals.

The selection of finalists for the Online Pacemaker was especially difficult, since websites were being updated, added to and expanded upon over the months during which judging took place. In addition, there was so much depth to cover — rather than looking at one edition of a newspaper or magazine, content on websites seems infinite.

Overall, judges were intrigued in different ways by each winning site.

One trait judges looked for was ease of navigation, as well as quality of content. Many of the finalists had solid multimedia projects showcasing their online skills — from interactive storytelling to podcasts. They also showcased strong headline writing, clean articles and engaging photography.

We’d like to again congratulate each of the 30 finalists for this amazing accomplishment. Winners will be announced in Washington, D.C. at the Associated Collegiate Press National College Media Convention Oct. 20-23. Registration is now open.
