As we published Monday, the Society of Professional Journalists named The Hatchet the best non-daily newspaper in the nation.
This award was part of SPJ’s Mark of Excellence Awards for 2007, which honor student journalism. We were first named the best in the region in April, advancing to the national competition against the eleven other regional winners.
We previously won the award five years ago, in 2003. We were a national runner-up in 2004, and we have captured the regional title every year since 2002.
SPJ’s press release lists the other winners.
