The NSPA Pacemaker award has a rich tradition and the association started presenting the award to high school newspapers a few years after the organization was founded in 1921. Throughout the years, yearbooks, magazines, online sites and broadcast programs were added to the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 21 Pacemaker finalists represent 11 states. Texas set the pace with six finalists followed by Florida and Missouri, each with three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each school entered three programs from the 2021-22 school year. A team of three judges, collegiate broadcast professors and professionals in the broadcast industry, viewed each entry discussing and analyzing its strengths and weaknesses before selecting the finalists and Pacemakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe winning entries stood out for not just their technical quality, but in the stories being covered,\u201d Gary Lundgren, associate director and contest coordinator, said. \u201cThe writing, editing, hosting and the willingness to tackle relevant topics make these exceptional newscasts from start to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For judging, shows were divided into live and pre-recorded categories. The frequency of the broadcast was also considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe quality of the broadcasts is incredible and gets stronger each year,\u201d Lundgren said. \u201cIt is exciting to watch the growth in broadcast programs in high schools across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
