Written by Evan Blackwell, CJE

Walsworth Yearbooks is proud to announce that two of its customers, Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas, and Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, were named 2016 Pacemaker Finalists by the Associated Collegiate Press (ACP).

The ACP’s annual Pacemaker is considered one of the highest honors in student journalism. Judging this year was done by five former college editors, now current journalism professionals and teachers.

Judging was based on engagement, complete reader service, strong design, strong photography, easy navigation throughout the spread/section, complete campus coverage, community and pertinent state/national coverage and storytelling captions.

Winners of the 2016 ACP Pacemaker will be announced at the ACP/CMA National College Media Convention in Dallas, Oct. 26-29.

The full list of Finalists can be found at the ACP website.
