Five Texas schools have been named finalists for the 2009 National Student Press Association Pacemaker award for newspaper and seven Texas schools won the 2008 NSPA Pacemaker award for yearbook.


The Newspaper Pacemaker finalists from Texas are Austin John B. Connally High School, Austin Westlake High School, El Paso Burges High School, St. Mark’s School of Texas, and Yavenh Academy of Dallas.

The Yearbook Pacemaker winners from Texas were Austin Westlake High School, Deer Park High School, Duncanville High School, El Paso Burges High School, El Paso Trinity High School, McKinney High School and Texarkana Pleasant Grove High School.

 


This year’s Newspaper Pacemaker contest was judged by a group of Seattle area professional journalists. There were 339 entries.


Entries were judged on coverage and content, quality of writing and reporting, leadership on the opinion page, evidence of in-depth reporting, layout and design and photography, arts and graphics.


Winners will be announced at the Journalism Education Association/National Student Press Association Fall National High School Journalism Convention in Washington on Nov. 14.


The Yearbook Pacemaker winners were announced at the Spring Journalism Education Association/National Student Press Association National High School Journalism convention in Phoenix last April.
