The Society of Professional Journalists named The Hatchet a national finalist for the best non-daily student newspaper today.

The Hatchet beat out newspapers around the country to win the national finalist award, after winning the Mark of Excellence award for best non-daily newspaper in the region last month. The Ithacan took home the category’s top prize.

SPJ also selected senior photo editor Michelle Rattinger as a national finalist in general news photography for her coverage of National Go Topless Day.

SPJ’s annual Mark of Excellence awards honor the best of student journalism for print, radio, television and online work. Non-daily newspapers are defined as those that publish less than four times per week. The awards are arguably the most coveted awards in collegiate journalism.

The GW Toolbox

by Lauren French

Once a year The Hatchet staff stops reporting and lampoons some of the issues and people they cover. It’s a tradition that dates back to the early years of The Hatchet, and has become an regular surprise on campus each spring.

In 2012, the April Fools’ Issue has come in the form of The GW Toolbox.

We might have claimed that reader feedback was just complaining, but feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment section here or on thegwtoolbox.com.

The Hatchet’s staff will return to reporting Monday morning, providing the GW community with up-to-date (and real) news on its blogs.

Thanks for reading.
