About Best of SNO

Best of SNO showcases the best student journalism from members of the SNO Network. Why? We want to recognize excellent work; you’ve likely put a lot of time and effort (possibly some blood, sweat and tears — we don’t judge) into your various journalistic explorations, and you deserve to be congratulated! Plus, we hope to inspire other students with your awesomeness by giving them fresh ideas and showing them some new approaches to traditional news material.
