WHO’S JUDGING?
Pacemaker judges are professionals working in media as well as a range of experts familiar with student media.
Judges for the 2009-10 NSPA Pacemakers included working professionals, veteran college media advisers,
and a team from the Milkweed Editions.

WHO’S JUDGING?Judging is by team. We ask the media organization to compile a group with representation from various
departments (writer, editor, designer, photographer, etc.).
Entries are judged holistically. There is not a rubric with points attached to certain criteria.
Judging is by nature somewhat subjective based on established standards of scholastic journalism.

HOW DO THEY JUDGE?• The number of Pacemaker finalists and winners is
proportional to the number of entries.
• The number is not fixed each year, but about half of the finalists will be named winners.
• This is a contest, not a critique.
• NSPA asks judges to provide general feedback on the finalists. Some teams are more thorough. Comments will be shared on our website as part of the winners gallery and in our book, Best of the High School Press.

SOME WAYS TO IMPROVE
• Work on the content. Dig around your campus and community for real stories. Don’t overplay or sensationalize. Cover all aspects and all groups.
• Pay attention to photography and graphics. These two areas help your publication stand out from others. Think of the best way to tell a story for readers to read and understand.

SOME WAYS TO IMPROVE
• Details make the difference. Typography, white space, style — these are what set Pacemakers apart.
• Have a strong editorial voice. Make the editorial pages a lively forum on substantive topics.
• Make every story polished. Write tight. Readers will read long if it’s good. Put columnists on a word count diet.

SOME WAYS TO IMPROVE
• Consider the alternatives. Look to alternate story forms in addition to the traditional story or copy block. Not only will your content attract more readers, the stories that need traditional treatment will stand out, too.
• Don’t just copy the leaders. They aren’t copying you. They’re finding a new and innovative ways to present information. They’re setting the pace.
