History

The Hoya is Georgetown University’s oldest and largest student newspaper, serving as the university’s newspaper of record since 1920. It is published every day online and every Friday in print during the school year. Each print issue also includes a weekly lifestyle magazine, The Guide. The Hoya also publishes a blog, The Fourth Edition, which provides a lighthearted take on all things Georgetown. We distribute 3,000 free copies to 30 locations across campus and the Georgetown neighborhood during the academic year, and continue to publish online during summers.

“Blushing as coyly as any schoolgirl, and with the excited fears and hopes of a debutante … we lay this first edition of The Hoya at the feet of the student body, and retreat to a safe distance to observe the effects.”
— Joseph R. Mickler Jr. (C ’20), The Hoya’s first editor-in-chief, in the paper’s debut issue.

The First Issue of The Hoya, Published Jan. 14, 1920

The Hoya has been a central part of the university community since its first publication in 1920. Although not financially independent from the university, The Hoya is produced, managed and edited entirely by students. Over 400 students are involved in the publication of the paper as reporters, photographers, designers, editors and business staff. To learn more about some of the students who work for The Hoya, visit our meet the staff page.

Editorial operations are overseen by the editor in chief, while business operations are run by the general manager. The current editor in chief is Caitlin McLean, and the current general manager is Aditya Gupte. The paper is governed by a seven-member board of directors. The current chair of the board of directors is Adora Zheng.

Several times a year, The Hoya produces special issues, including New Student Orientation and Commencement issues, a preview of the basketball season and a comprehensive New Student Guide, as well as issues focused on fashion and other special topics.
