It's worth noting03 Mar 2010 08:09 am

Remember how you felt the first time your work was recognized with an award? Here’s a chance to return the favor.

The National Pacemaker Awards are prestigious annual honors recognizing the best student journalism in the nation. This year I have the honor of judging the online entries (with my friend Ken Sands) and we could use some help.

Turns out, there is so much good stuff happening on college news websites, a record number of entries were submitted. So we are looking for a handful of volunteers to help screen the entries. If you volunteer, you’ll be asked to review 10-20 websites and select 2-5 finalists. Piece of cake, right?

So if you want to see some innovative online journalism – while giving back to the profession by recognizing good work – send me a note offering your help: mark@journalism20.com. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, Kathy. Between you and the dozen or so emails I received, we should have enough judges to do a thorough job.

    Thanks to everyone for stepping up.
