“I’m extremely proud of our staff for receiving this recognition for the first time ever,” said current Editor-in-Chief Hannah Stein. “Our paper was placed against some of the top papers across the region and it’s incredible and humbling that we’ve achieved this recognition with some of our best investigative work. It definitely reflects our dedication and our potential.”
