DISTRICT CHRONICLES

Young and Independent! The District Chronicles is fueled by enough energy to run Washington, DC's subway system. And, much like the Metro, the journalists at the District Chronicles tie together the region. They creatively present insightful articles and compelling photographs to tell stories relevant and useful for a youthful audience.

The District Chronicles, published weekly year-round, is the largest community newspaper published by college students for 18-35 year old readers in the Washington, region. In each issue, the paper presents a mix of hard news, feature articles, sports explanatory journalism and commentary. Students are drawn together by a common desire - to work at an independent student newspaper and learn the basic skills and habits required to succeed in journalism. Each week approximately 25,000 copies of the paper are distributed throughout the city and selected suburban communities through such outlets as grocery stores, drug stores and universities and colleges including Howard University, George Washington University, Georgetown University, Catholic University, American University, University of the District of Columbia and Trinity College.

The newspaper is a learning tool for journalism students at Howard University and students at other institutions in the region who are willing to get off campus and explore the city with the inquisitive eye of a journalist.

Named runner-up for Best Newspaper (Weekly) by the Black College Communications Association in 2003, the three-year-old publication is funded solely by advertising.
