ACP names top student newspapers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pacemaker competition names 18 <\/em>
as the \u2018best of the best\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oct. 14, 2021<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MINNEAPOLIS \u2014 Student newspapers from 18 colleges and universities have earned the prestigious Pacemaker award from the Associated Collegiate Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Pacemaker is the association\u2019s preeminent award,\u201d executive director Laura Widmer said. \u201cACP is honored to recognize the best of the best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September, 36 newspapers were named Pacemaker finalists<\/strong><\/a>. The finalists represented 16 states and a Canadian province. California set the pace with seven finalists followed by Texas with five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 18 Pacemaker winners represent the top 22 of the entries. Three of the Pacemaker-winning newspapers were published by two-year schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five print issues produced during the 2020-21 school year were submitted for consideration. Two teams of three judges studied every entry, analysing its strengths and weaknesses. At least two of the three judges agreed on whether a newspaper was eliminated or would be named a finalist or winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time in recent history, the newspapers did not compete by frequency of publication. Newspapers from four-year schools competed with those of similar enrollment. Newspapers from two-year schools competed against each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was a very challenging year for collegiate print newspapers. The quality of the publications was stronger than ever, but because of the pandemic and the changing media landscape, the number of entries dropped this year,\u201d said Gary Lundgren, associate director and coordinator of Pacemaker competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all, 81 newspapers entered the Pacemaker competition compared to 114 the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to demonstrating excellence in key areas including coverage, writing, editing, design and photography, the winning newspapers took risks and served as a strong voice for the student audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this competition, only the print product was judged. Online sites compete in a separate Pacemaker competition. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
