Pennell won the award Editorial Cartoon of the Year. The winners were announced at the 85th annual ACP/CMA National College Media Convention. The convention took place in St. Louis, from Wed, Oct. 25, to Sun., Oct. 29. Simply being nominated for Pacemaker Awards is an honor in itself. For Pennell to win the award shows his skill as an artist. The DEN staff’s reaction to Pennell’s cartoons is given proof of his talent. “It is absolutely deserved,” senior Kyle Mayhugh, DEN editor in chief, said. “He is amazing. People gather around the mail boxes when he drops off his cartoon.” Along with Pennell, the DEN was nominated for best student publication and the online edition of the DEN was nominated as well. This was the third year that the online edition of the DEN was nominated, said John Ryan, director of student publications. The National College Media Convention is an annual event hosted by the Associated Collegiate Press and College Media Advisers.
