The Torch is the official student-run newspaper of St. John's University in Queens, New York. Founded in 1922, and published in 1925, the paper had shifted in and out of financial control of the University before ultimately being fully independent since 1980. In 1988, The Torch was inducted into the Associated Collegiate Press Hall of Fame after being awarded several awards from various collegiate newspaper organizations. During the 2006–2007 academic year, The Torch won several awards from the New York Press Association and American Scholastic Press Association, including Second Place in General Excellence from the NYPA.[1]
