<p>Hatchet named best in the nation

<p>The Hatchet is the best non-daily college newspaper in the country, according to the Society of Professional Journalists.</p>
<p>SPJ gave top honors to GW's independent student newspaper at its annual conference, which was held in New York from Sept. 9-11. At a Saturday afternoon awards luncheon, SPJ executives lauded The Hatchet for its "professional quality writing" and said it had "just enough sass for a college paper."</p>
<p>"The award is a reflection of the hard work put in by a lot of students, not just in the past year but over the last several years, in building The Hatchet into a nationally respected, independent student newspaper," Hatchet Editor in Chief Brian Costa said. "I think everyone who has worked on this paper over the last several years has a lot to be proud of."</p>
<p>The title is awarded to college newspapers that publish two or three times a week. The prize is one of 45 honors SPJ presents for print, radio, television and online collegiate journalism.</p>
<p>Entries are first judged during 11 regional conferences in April. At the mid-Atlantic conference, which includes Delaware, D.C., Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia, The Hatchet was awarded best non-daily in the region. Each regional winner advances to compete in the national competition.</p>
<p>The Hatchet has earned 29 SPJ regional Mark of Excellence awards in the past three years. This year marks the first that The Hatchet has won the best non-daily title in the region or the nation.</p>
<p>Mosheh Oinounou, last year's Editor in Chief of The Hatchet, cited the newspaper's recent utilization of the Internet to provide online editions of the newspaper, improvement of organizational skills and increase in staff as reasons the publication has advanced.</p>
<p>"The Hatchet's caliber has improved dramatically through its direct coverage of breaking news and its effort to improve communication skills by recruiting good writers and teaching them the ropes," Oinounou said. He added that the award "reflects the hard work of the writers and how it has paid off."

<p>jeparlefrancais, this site also lists award-winning daily and non-daily papers; one excellent paper that shows up in the top 5 virtually every year is the Daily Pennsylvanian (DP) at Penn.</p>
<p>Ideally, in addition to giving you a great educational experience, the newspaper should have strong connections to real-world journalism. My best friend is a producer at ABC News, and she got her entry-level job there right out of college through the DP network.</p>
<p>You can read most of the better papers online. As part of my work, I regularly read 15-20 college papers from around the country, and there are many strong ones. You can find links here:</p>
<p>NYU (10 charactas)</p>
<p>like several others have mentioned, UCLA's Daily Bruin. </p>
<p>it's reputation is the "best in the west" and it has the 3rd largest readership in the nation's second biggest market.</p>
<p>many of their alumni have gone on into great journalism careers even though there isn't a journalism department at UCLA.</p>
<p>Let us not forget...</p>
