The Vermont Cynic, also known as The Cynic, is the award-winning, editorially-independent student newspaper of the University of Vermont (UVM). Founded in 1883, The Cynic was published in print for most of its history before fully transitioning to digital in 2022.[1]
Throughout its history, it has been recognized with multiple awards. In October 2011, it won the Associated Collegiate Press' Newspaper Pacemaker award,[2] widely known as the Pulitzer Prize of student journalism. In October 2012, The Vermont Cynic won the Associated Collegiate Press' Online Pacemaker award.[3] The Cynic won Diversity Story of the Year in 2016 from the ACP for its reporting on the history of "Kake Walk," a Minstrel show tradition at UVM's Winter Carnival that continued until 1969.[4] It was also a finalist for another Pacemaker award in 2017 and took second place in the environmental portrait category for the 2018 Photo of the Year.[5][6]
