The Hiltonian, the official student newspaper of
Reinhardt College, is edited, managed, and written by Reinhardt
College students. The Hiltonian provides coverage of Reinhardt
events, as well as serving as a campus forum.
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 students are encouraged to show their interest and
support
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.
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.
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the Editor should be addressed to the Hiltonian
Staff. The Hiltonian will try to print all letters received.
Letters should be, at maximum, 250 - 300 words long and
should pertain to an issue that concerns the Reinhardt College
community.
The writer must include:
-
Full name
-
Professional title if a Reinhardt College employee or year
and major if a student
-
Address
-
Phone number
-
All letters must be signed (though requests for anonymous
publication may be considered by the editors).
The Hiltonian reserves the right to edit all submissions for
style, possible libel, or in case of space limitations. The
newspaper will not withhold names under any circumstance. The
opinions of the Letters to the Editor are not necessarily the
opinions of the Hiltonian Staff or Reinhardt College. Please
address all correspondence to: Letter to the Editor
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.
Editorials
Editorials reflect the opinion of Hiltonian, but not necessarily
of each member of the Hiltonian Staff or Reinhardt College. Any
opinion columns or cartoons reflect the opinions of the writers
or artists, and not necessarily the opinions of the Hiltonian
Staff or Reinhardt College.
