For the second time in its history, the Indiana Daily Student won the Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker award in the Newspaper and Online categories. The Pacemaker is one of the most prestigious awards in collegiate journalism.
In addition to the two Pacemakers, the IDS and Arbutus yearbook received 34 awards at the Fall National College Media Convention. The convention was held virtually from Oct. 22 to Oct. 24.
“This group has done the work, continues to do the work and deserves this,” Student Media Director Jim Rodenbush said.
Senior Caroline Anders won the ACP’s Ernie Pyle Human Interest Profile Award for her story “Live and Learn.” The story also won first place in the College Media Association’s Best Profile category.
