The Hoya

The Hoya has been a central part of the Georgetown University community since its first publication in 1920. Although The Hoya is not financially independent from the university, it is produced, managed and edited entirely by students. Over 200 students are involved in the publication of the paper as reporters, photographers, designers, editors and business staff. The Hoya is the oldest and largest student newspaper of Georgetown University, serving as the university’s newspaper of record since 1920. It is published every Tuesday and Friday during the school year, and each Friday issue also includes a weekly lifestyle magazine, The Guide. The Hoya publishes two blogs: The Fourth Edition, and a sports blog, Hoya Paranoia. We distribute 6,500 free copies to 30 locations across campus and the Georgetown neighborhood during the academic year, and continue to publish online during summers and between print issues. Editorial operations are overseen by the editor-in-chief, while business operations are run by the general manager. The current Editor-in-Chief is Mallika Sen, and the current General Manager is Brian Carden. The paper is governed by a seven-member Board of Directors. The current chair of the Board of Directors is Sheena Karkal. Several times a year, The Hoya produces special issues, including New Student Orientation and Commencement issues, previews of the basketball and lacrosse seasons and a comprehensive New Student Guide.
