<p>I am hoping to become a sports writer, and as I begin to search for schools, I was wondering what schools have good college newspapers? But more importantly, what are some college newspapers that give an opportunity to everyone to report, get experience, and make a contribution? I want to go somewhere I know I'll be comfortable and given a fair chance to be involved. A place where you can learn and gain experience needed to create intern and job opportunities. Thanks!</p>
<p>Check out the Associated Collegiate Press award pages - they're generally considered the "Pulitzer Prizes of college journalism." Awards are not the be-all and end-all of it, of course, but you can't have a truly terrible journalism department and get a Pacemaker, so it's a good baseline.</p>
