I just found out The Daily Reveille is a finalist for the National Newspaper Pacemaker Award, the most prestigous award in collegiate journalism, for my last semester as editor-in-chief as well as my friend Walter's semester as EnC.
We haven't won the award since 2003, when our campus safety special edition (during the Serial Killer crisis) was published. Granted, we're only a finalist, but it's still a great step.
Hurricane Katrina helped us along this time. This is a big personal vindication for many of us who worked at TDR through Katrina and covered the event in our special edition, Enduring Katrina. That hard work paid off earlier in the year with victories at the Louisiana Press Association Awards and another Pacemaker would be a great addition to the Newsroom.
What a great way to start the day.
