To celebrate its centennial year,
National Scholastic Press Association announces
its top 100 Pacemaker award winners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

National Scholastic Press Association \u2014 home of the prestigious Pacemaker awards \u2014 proudly recognizes its top 100 publications as it launches its centennial celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1921, NSPA has trained and honored student journalists through conventions, workshops and awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First presented in 1927 as the Pace-Maker, the Pacemaker awards are now recognized as the top prizes in scholastic journalism. They honor the very best scholastic broadcasts, literary arts magazines, newspapers\/newsmagazines, online publications, specialty magazines and yearbooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Pacemaker really represents the best of the best and it is appropriate that we recognize the rich tradition this award has in scholastic journalism as part of our centennial celebration,\u201d NSPA associate director Gary Lundgren said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pacemaker 100 represents a one-time snapshot of the top 100 publications recognized in the competition during its history. Each Pacemaker finalist was awarded five points and each Pacemaker earned 10 points. The results were tabulated in May 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pacemaker 100 will be honored in alphabetical order by state followed by the announcement of the top 10 publications. Just like the Pacemaker competition, online sites are recognized separately from the print newspaper\/newsmagazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was fun to reflect on the history of the award and to recognize the publications during the past century with a rich Pacemaker history \u2014 this is a remarkable achievement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1927, there have been 2,700 Pacemaker awards presented to high school and middle school publications. An additional 2,300 Pacemaker finalists have been awarded over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three publications that have earned at least 20 or more Pacemakers and dozens that have earned 10 or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile it is certainly a remarkable achievement to earn a dozen or more Pacemakers, it is also exciting to see the many publications that earned a single Pacemaker over the last century,\u201d Lundgren said. \u201cTheir hard work and excellence landed them a place in scholastic journalism history and that\u2019s also worth celebrating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associated Collegiate Press, the collegiate division of NSPA, has also awarded Pacemakers since 1927 and plans to recognize The Pacemaker 100 for collegiate publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the upcoming school year, a searchable database of member publications earning Pacemaker recognition will be added to both the NSPA and ACP websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pacemaker 100 will be honored and presented awards during the next on-site NSPA convention, and the Pacemaker 100 will be showcased in “Empowering Student Journalists,” a commemorative book documenting and celebrating the role of NSPA and ACP in educating, influencing and promoting the student press. “Empowering Student Journalists” will be released at the Philadelphia convention, as well as at the ACP\/CMA New Orleans convention in October 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
