The Sunflower student newspaper at Wichita State was awarded three Pacemakers from the Associated Collegiate Press at the National College Media Convention in October.
The team was awarded the Newspaper Pacemaker, Multiplatform Pacemaker and the Innovation Pacemaker. The Sunflower is one of two college newspapers who have been awarded five consecutive Newspaper Pacemaker awards, and this marks the first time the paper has received the Innovation Pacemaker.
The Sunflower was the only college newspaper in Kansas to have been awarded a Pacemaker and was among other prestigious college newspapers from across the United States.
