Sept.
13, 2002 (Lexington, Ky.) -- The
Kentucky Kernel,
the University of Kentucky's independent daily student
newspaper, has been selected as a finalist for a Pacemaker
award, the top student journalism award in the nation.
The Kernel
will compete with student newspapers from such schools
as Harvard, Tulane, Vanderbilt and Auburn for the
Pacemaker award, which is given by the Associated
Collegiate Press (ACP).
Tracy Kershaw
of Hazard, editor-in-chief of the Kernel, said she
and a delegation of Kernel writers and editors will
attend the ACP's annual convention in Orlando, Fla.,
Oct. 31-Nov. 2 where the winners will be announced.
A week
of the newspapers' editions are judged in the competition
for quality of writing and reporting, leadership on
the editorial page, photography, evidence of in-depth
reporting and graphics.
Kershaw
said the last time the Kernel won a Pacemaker Award
was for the 1998-99 academic year.
