Drake publications win national honors
Two of Drake University’s student publications earned top national honors over the weekend. Drake’s student-produced publications won three Pacemaker awards, the nation’s most competitive award for collegiate journalism, during the Associate Collegiate Press’ annual conference held Oct. 20-23 in Washington, D.C. Drake Magazine was among 19 Pacemaker recipients in the magazine category; DrakeMag.com and Urban Plains were among 16 winners in the online journalism category. Only two other universities — the University of Miami and the University of Oregon — won three Pacemakers.
