The Georgetown Voice

The Georgetown Voice is Georgetown University’s premiere, student-run newsmagazine, with commentary and coverage on news, arts, and sports. Our alumni have gone on to work at The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, NPR, NBC, FiveThirtyEight, SportsIllustrated, Vulture, POLITICO, The Huffington Post, and several other news organizations. The Voice was founded in 1969 by former editors from The Hoya who objected to that paper’s refusal at the time to cover the Vietnam War and off-campus issues affecting students. The paper’s debut editorial on March 4, 1969, explained the paper’s goals and mission:"Our editorial policy will view and analyze issues in a liberal light. We shall not limit our editorial content to campus topics. We promise to present and analyze national and local issues of concern to the student, whose concern should spread beyond the campus. We shall attempt with all our energy to inform the community, to make the community conscious of controversial subjects by an open presentation and discussion of relevant issues, to communicate a culture, and to entertain our readers." While the editorial page explicitly comes from a progressive perspective, news and feature stories take a non-ideological stance and give voice to all sides of the issue. Without exception, the Voice is committed to providing campus with critical journalism that doesn’t defer to those in power.
