Drake Magazine and Urban Plains are both finalists for the Associated Collegiate Press’ Online Pacemaker awards, often called the “Pulitzer Prize” of collegiate journalism.

Drake Magazine is an extracurricular activity, with both print and online publications. Urban Plains is the senior capstone website produced by the magazine media, news, and digital media production majors in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. The Associated Collegiate Press chose 25 finalists from 105 entries; Drake and James Madison University in Virginia were the only institutions with two finalists. The winners will be announced at the ACP annual convention Oct. 28 in Dallas.
