MINNEAPOLIS \u2014The Associated Collegiate Press has recognized 41 online broadcast, news and magazine sites as finalists in the Online Pacemaker competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Pacemaker is the association’s preeminent award,” Laura Widmer, executive director, said. “ACP is honored to recognize the best of the best.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both online and print Pacemaker finalists will be recognized and the Pacemaker winners announced at the ACP\/CMA National College Media Convention<\/a><\/strong>,<\/a> Oct. 31-Nov. 3, 2019, in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 41 online finalists represent 38 states and Canada. California set the pace with 11 finalists followed by Texas with four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACP received approximately 182 entries in 2019, which marked a 82-percent increase from approximately 100 in 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 41 finalists, 20 will earn Pacemaker honors. Roughly 23 percent of the entries are finalists with roughly 10 percent earning Pacemaker honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To select the finalists, respected professionals including professors and current digital media professionals analyzed each entry in categories based on student enrollment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Insights and observations from the judges about the Pacemaker winning online sites will be posted after the Pacemaker winners are announced, along with the names and professional bios of the judges. The judges have provided written summaries about each Pacemaker winner.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this competition, only the online product was judged. Print newspapers compete in a separate competition. The ACP Newspaper Pacemaker finalists were announced in early September<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finalists are presented below in alphabetical order by state.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
