After receiving Best of Show at the Associated Collegiate Press’ spring conference last year, Mars’ Hill is up for an even bigger ACP award this fall.
The only Canadian finalist out of 230 college newspapers across Canada and the United States, Mars’ Hill has a shot at winning first place in ACP’s annual Newspaper Pacemaker competition.
The Pacemakers, dubbed the “Pulitzer of college journalism” by ACP’s Sarah Rice, have been awarded to college papers since 1927.
Judges select Pacemakers based on coverage and content, quality of writing and reporting, leadership on the opinion page, evidence of in-depth reporting, design, photography, art, and graphics within six submitted issues. Pacemakers are selected by the staff of a professional newspaper in the host city of the ACP College Media Convention, which will be held October 25-29 in St. Louis, Missouri.
Now you go...
