The University Daily Kansan is one of 15 daily newspapers at four-year universities that were named finalists for the 2007 Associated Collegiate Press Newspaper Pacemaker award. Judges will award the Pacemakers for the newspapers’ performance during the 2006-2007 academic year, based on specific issues submitted to the competition.
The Kansan’s editors during the 2006-2007 year were Jonathan Kealing and Gabriella Souza.
“It’s just a tribute to all the outstanding reporters and editors that work together for The Kansan,” Kealing said.
The University of Nebraska’s Daily Nebraskan and the University of Oklahoma’s The Oklahoma Daily were the other newspapers from Big 12 universities to be named finalists. Washburn University’s Washburn Review was a finalist in the four-year nondaily newspaper category, and Johnson County Community College’s The Campus Ledger was a finalist in the two-year newspaper category.
The Pacemaker winners will be announced at the National College Media Convention in Washington, D.C., in late October.
