Winged Post named a finalist for NSPA Pacemaker award

Last week, Harker’s upper school student newspaper, the Winged Post, became one of 49 student newspapers identified as finalists in the National Scholastic Press Association’s 2017 Pacemaker competition. A total of 275 student publications were in the running for this year’s Pacemaker award, which NSPA executive director called the organization’s “pre-eminent award.” Of these 49 finalists, 26 will be awarded Pacemakers. According to upper school journalism teacher Ellen Austin, this is the first time the Winged Post has been a finalist in the Pacemaker competition since the 2007-08 school year. Winners will be announced at the National High School Journalism Convention, held mid-November in Dallas.
