The paper is one of the oldest news publications in Lancaster County, beginning production in 1904. Since then, the Etownian has grown to be named one of the top college newspapers in the country, earning the award First Place with Special Merit in 2010 from the American Scholastic Press Association for overall newspaper quality.
