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

Pacemaker competition recognizes 43 finalists<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sept. 18, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MINNEAPOLIS \u2014 Student newspapers and newsmagazines from 43 colleges and universities have been recognized as Pacemaker finalists by the Associated College Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pacemaker winners will be announced at <\/strong>the Fall National College Media Convention<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>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 43 newspaper\/newsmagazine finalists represent 20 states. California set the pace with nine finalists followed by Texas with five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three print issues produced during the 2023-24 school year were submitted for consideration. Two teams of three judges studied every entry, analyzing its strengths and weaknesses. At least two of the three judges agreed on whether a newspaper\/newspaper was eliminated or would be named a finalist or winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 43 finalists, 21 will earn the Pacemaker award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newspapers from four-year schools competed against schools with similar enrollment. Newspapers from two-year schools, of all enrollments, competed in a separate category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six newspapers\/newsmagazines published by two-year schools are among the 43 finalists. Of those six, three will earn Pacemaker honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is exciting to see how these colleges and universities are refining their print products in today\u2019s college media ecosystem,\u201d associate director Gary Lundgren said. \u201cIt is definitely a transitional time for the college student newspaper.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all, 88 newspapers\/newsmagazines entered the Pacemaker competition compared to 90 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
