MINNEAPOLIS \u2014 The Associated Collegiate Press has recognized 31 online news and magazine sites as finalists in the Online Pacemaker competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pacemaker finalists will be recognized and the Pacemaker winners announced virtually at 6 p.m. ET Thursday, Oct. 14, during the Fall National College Media Convention.<\/a><\/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

The 37 online finalists represent 17 states, the District of Columbia and a Canadian province.  California set the pace with nine finalists, followed by Florida, Texas and North Carolina each with three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 31 finalists, 14 will earn Pacemaker honors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online sites from two-year and four-year schools competed in separate divisions. There are three two-year schools and 28 four-year schools honored as Pacemaker finalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the four-year school category, websites competed against those from colleges and universities with similar enrollments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To select the finalists, respected professionals including professors and current digital media professionals analyzed, discussed and rated each entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday\u2019s best online sites are platforms for rich multimedia storytelling,\u201d said Gary Lundgren, associate director and coordinator of the Pacemaker competition. \u201cDeep and diverse coverage with strong engagement and interactivity distinguish the best student-produced sites.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this competition, only the online product was judged. Print newspapers compete in a separate Pacemaker competition. The are 12 online sites also earning Pacemaker finalist recognition for their print newspapers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finalists are alphabetical by state.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
