Not only has The Hatchet increased its profile in the community by moving into a more prominent building on campus, but its news staff also has shed the confines of the University, reporting on stories that affect the GW community and Foggy Bottom.
On production nights before The Hatchet goes to print, the editorial board holes itself up in the editor in chief's office behind a locked door for about an hour.
Sounds ranging from shouting to laughter emit mysteriously from the room. When the bedraggled group emerges from the room, the two staff editorials bearing the consensus of opinion is in place for the upcoming issue. The staff editorials have been known to question University individuals, challenge policies and incite protest. But exactly who comprises the editorial board that creates these sometimes controversial pieces?
The Hatchet, as a corporation and not just a newspaper, has a board of directors like many other companies. This board of directors has made many of the important decisions and faced the issues of The Hatchet moving out of the fourth floor of the Marvin Center to its own townhouse at 2140 G St.
