"HTV Magazine" received its 14th Broadcast Pacemaker Award, a national record, from the National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA) Nov. 3. The award goes to the top shows in the nation after judges look at three programs submitted from the school year.
In addition to the honor for the overall newscast, two HTV staff members placed first nationally in the NSPA Broadcast News Story of the Year competition. Kaylinn Clotfelter and Trenton Wolfe covered the plight of a homeless man asking for handouts on North Glenstone. Honorable Mention in the same category went to HTV's Ellen Fountain and Allison Green for their coverage of the April walk-out at Central High School.
"We like to say 'the glory is in the story,'" said Dave Davis, media adviser at Hillcrest High School. "That means just getting the facts right, and sharing content in a meaningful way is the goal. We like to celebrate for a day, and then get back to work. You don't take the rest of the semester off when you ace a test in English. You keep working hard; same for our broadcast students."
Since its formation in 1989, Hillcrest High School's media program has been consistently recognized as one of the best in the nation. The news show for teens, by teens, premiers at Hillcrest once a month, with 240 news magazines produced in nearly 30 years.
