ACP names top broadcast news programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pacemaker competition names five finalists as \u2018the best of the best\u2019<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

MINNEAPOLIS \u2014 Honoring the nation\u2019s best, the Associated College Press named five student-produced news broadcasts as finalists in its annual prestigious Pacemaker competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pacemaker winners will be announced at the Fall National College Media Convention<\/strong><\/a> at 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Sheraton New Orleans.<\/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 prestigious Pacemaker recognizes overall excellence and distinguishes the top student media produced during a particular school year. The award started shortly after the association was founded in 1921 and is often regarded as the most-competitive, most-honored award in collegiate journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the decades, Pacemakers have been awarded to online, newspaper, magazine and yearbook.  The broadcast Pacemaker competition was added in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs digital platforms expand, a growing number of student media operations are producing outstanding broadcast news programs,\u201d associate director Gary Lundgren said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news programs competed directly against each other. Three award-winning broadcast educators selected the winners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program frequency, school enrollment and whether the program was live or recorded were factors taken into consideration during the judging process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
