The DePaulia, our weekly student-produced newspaper, has been named a finalist in the Associated Collegiate Press's 2017 Newspaper Pacemaker competition.
The DePaulia was one of 43 newspapers (out of a total nationwide submission of 150) to be named a finalist. According the the ACP, the cited newspapers demonstrate, "...excellence in key areas including coverage, writing, editing, design and photography," but additionally, "the winning newspapers took risks and served as a strong voice for its student audience."
The finalists will be honored and winners of the competition will be announced at the annual ACP/CMA National College Media Convention this October in Dallas, Texas.
Of course we'll be crossing our newsprint-stained fingers for our students' great work.
