Best of Student Media is CollegeJournalism.org‘s weekly selection of outstanding work from collegiate journalists across the country. The list is curated by CollegeJournalism.org and Student Press Report editor Barbara “Bob” Allen, who monitors almost 900 RSS feeds from student news publications nationwide — roughly 80% of all college student media.
New stories are selected each week for their quality, creativity and potential to inspire collegiate journalists and those who lead them.
