EnglishWhat Kind of Content Can I Find on The Hoya Website?
Updated
The Hoya (thehoya.com) is Georgetown University's student newspaper, published since 1920, and its website carries a full range of campus journalism: news, opinion, features, sports, science, multimedia, a blog, and photo coverage. If you want to follow Georgetown campus events, policy debates, student life, or athletics, the site organizes that material into distinct sections you can browse directly.
News
The news section covers Georgetown campus events and policy changes, often with student and faculty voices. Recent examples from the site include:
- A report on Georgetown President Peñalver reaffirming sexual violence prevention efforts after a Cornell case
- Coverage of the Georgetown community condemning a Title IX policy reversal
- Reporting on the strategic plan under development and community hopes for improved policies
- A piece on a think tank director reassessing European foreign policy after US and China threats
- Coverage of a Georgetown bioinformatics program receiving historic international recognition
- A report on counterterrorism pressure and intelligence gathering, and one on a Middle East expert's view of an Iran war
These articles are typically written by news editors or special contributors to The Hoya.
Opinion
The opinion section publishes several distinct formats:
- Editorials from The Editorial Board, such as one urging Georgetown to fulfill its slavery reconciliation fund
- Viewpoints from individual writers, such as pieces on exploring AI as responsible citizens, diversifying the Iran lecture series, and ending university support for a campus group
- Columns, such as one on reviving Hoya culture
This section is where you'll find argument and commentary rather than straight reporting.
Features, Sports, Science, and More
Beyond news and opinion, the site's navigation lists these sections:
| Section | What it offers |

Trending and Featured Articles
The homepage surfaces featured articles near the top and a trending list, which highlights the most-read or most-discussed items at a given moment. Trending items have included a film critique, coverage of a campus political group joining a national campaign, the basketball transfer portal tracker, a report on theology faculty division, and a piece on campus political groups drifting apart amid national polarization.
How to Use the Site
- Start at the homepage to see featured and trending articles.
- Use the section navigation (News, Opinion, Features, The Guide, Sports, Science, Multimedia, Blog, Photo) to go directly to the type of content you want.
