News-Letter

This past weekend the Associated Collegiate Press honored The Johns Hopkins News-Letter with the Newspaper Pacemaker Award for Weekly Broadsheets. Hopkins received the award for excellence in the categories of coverage and content, quality of writing and reporting, leadership on the opinion page, evidence of in-depth reporting, design, photography, art and graphics.

Editor-in-Chief Sarah Rivard and Managing Editor Xiao-bo Yuan attended the National College Media Convention in Kansas City, Mo., for four days at the end of last month to receive the award for the News-Letter. The staff of the paper's 109th consecutive volume, headed by Editors-in-Chief Eric Ridge and Maany Peyvan, was awarded the distinction of being one of the top ten finalists selected by the ACP.

College newspapers from across the nation submitted their best work from this past academic year in June. After an extensive evaluation of each newspaper based on a comprehensive evaluation of journalistic style and content, the ACP announces the top ten finalists in four categories. These finalists are invited to the Convention where the ACP announces the top five in each category. Hopkins was in the top five of weekly broadsheets.
