The Communicator Online, SFCC's student-run news website, has been named one of six finalists in its category for the 2009 Online Pacemaker Awards.

For those of you who have never been to the site, it is the web division of The Communicator, SFCC's student-run newspaper. The award itself, The Pacemaker, is known as the college equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. Neither The Communicator nor The Communicator Online have ever won or placed in the finals for the prestigious honor.

Please visit the website, if you have yet to do so, the address is

www.spokanefalls.edu/communicator or you can get to it by following the links from the SFCC home page.

The Communicator Online is also joined by The Jibsheet, the student news site from Bellevue Community College, and in the four year category, The Whitworthian, from Whitworth University.

This finalist position comes after the total revamp and redesign of the website. Editor-in-Chief Madison McCord, Graphics Editor Marshall Moore and Perspectives Editor Judy Johnson spent many hours tediously rebuilding the site to make it more viewer-friendly and accessible.
