The Flat Hat

The Flat Hat has been the College of William and Mary’s student newspaper since 1911. It covers the College and the surrounding area of Williamsburg, Va. The Flat Hat is produced entirely by a volunteer all-undergraduate staff. It has no faculty adviser. The student journalists of The Flat Hat control all online and print content. The production of the paper’s news and editorial content are in no way supervised by any College administrator. The Flat Hat also controls its own advertising and business departments. In October 2007, The Flat Hat won the Pacemaker award for excellence in the category of non-daily newspaper at a four-year university, and in 2010 was listed by College Media Matters as one of the 30 best collegiate newspapers in the United States.
