ACP Pacemaker honors innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Student media operation rewarded for forward thinking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

NEW ORLEANS \u2014 Honoring the nation\u2019s best, the Associated College Press named a forward-thinking student media operation as the winner of its prestigious Innovation Pacemaker during an awards ceremony at the Fall National College Media Convention,<\/a> in 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

The Innovation Pacemaker is designed to encourage out-of-the-box thinking and reward student media for the courage to take chances to improve service to their customers, readers and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September, six student media programs were named Pacemaker finalists. <\/a>From those six finalists, the judges said one application packet stood out from the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCollegiate student media is rapidly changing and those programs that don\u2019t generate new revenue streams and innovative ways to deliver content to their readers will struggle to survive,\u201d associate director Gary Lundgren said. \u201cPrint is now just one component \u2014 there is far more to a successful student media program than publishing the campus newspaper.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leadership, coverage, content delivery, marketing, business, community, press freedom and partnerships are among the areas where innovation is encouraged.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
