District is the award-winning, editorial independent news website for the Savannah College of Art and Design. Founded in 1995 as a print newspaper, District was one of the first publications of its kind in 2008 to become a web-only product. Today, the website is updated multiple times daily. It also founded and publishes the annual arts journal, Port City Review. In 2014, District launched a fashion blog, The Manor, a comics and illustration blog, HoneyDripper, in 2017, and a digital media blog, Render Q, in 2019. It partners with SCAD Radio, SCAD’s dual campus radio broadcasting station, and The Connector, SCAD Atlanta’s student run newspaper.
Over its history, District has won more than 600 awards from organizations such as the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, Society of Professional Journalists, Georgia College Press Association, Associated College Press and more.
District operates on the passionate belief that inspirational and educational content should be available to all. All content is available online in digital format. Coverage ranges from local to national to international stories. The editorial board that runs the news source is selected for their expertise in the young, professional art and design world.
