The Hiltonian

Established in 1924, The Hiltonian, is official student newspaper of Reinhardt College, and is edited, managed, and written by Reinhardt College students. The Hiltonian provides coverage of Reinhardt events, as well.

A college newspaper is more than a source of news. It is a forum for public debate; it is the voice of the students amplified to an audible pitch; it is anything and everything students try to make it.

All ad and article deadlines are the 15th of the month for the issue that created and delivered on the 1st of the following month.

Hiltonian Policies

The policy of The Hiltonian is to provide our students with professionally supported training in newspaper-related areas and to produce a high quality product people want to read. We offer students hands-on training using state-of-the-art technology as they prepare for careers in the media.

The emphasis is on STUDENTS at Reinhardt College. Reinhardt College does not believe in censorship of any kind. We respect and encourage our students to exercise their guaranteed rights of free speech. Our students determine content, programming and handle all matters relating to personnel. This privilege is quickly tempered by the responsibility that goes along with work in a public forum. Students rely on advisers, but advisers do not preview student work. Instead, teaching and constructive criticism come after publications and broadcasts.

Articles

Final decisions concerning printing and/or editing of any submission (by The Hiltonian Staff or members of the Reinhardt College Community) belongs to the Editorial Board of The Hiltonian. The Hiltonian reserves the right to edit all submissions for style, possible libel, or in case of space limitations.

Mission Statement

The purpose of The Hiltonian is to inform the students of events occurring on campus and to provide students an opportunity to express their opinions on pertinent issues.
