Mission
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 online daily and every Friday in print during the school year when we are on campus. 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 4,000 free copies to 30 locations across campus and the Georgetown neighborhood each week during the academic year and publish online during summers.

The Hoya has been a central part of the university community since its first publication in 1920. Supported financially by the university in addition to internal revenue, The Hoya is produced, managed and edited entirely by students. Over 300 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 ten-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 a Commencement issue, a preview of the basketball season and a comprehensive New Student Guide, as well as regular special issues in The Guide focused on fashion and other special topics.
