The College Hill Independent (commonly referred to as The Indy) is a weekly college newspaper published by students of Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design, the two colleges in the College Hill neighborhood in Providence, Rhode Island. The paper has a circulation of about 3000, and is the most prominent alternative to The Brown Daily Herald, Brown University's daily newspaper.

Sections

Although subject to change with each semester's influx of new editors, the Indy is currently organized into nine sections:

News 
The News section is anchored by the recurring "Week in Review" page, where a few news stories from the past week are highlighted, often to comedic effect. The remaining pages in the section often feature original reporting on national or international issues outside of the Providence and Rhode Island areas.
Metro 
The Metro section covers issues and news stories from the Providence and Rhode Island areas, be they about public art on College Hill[1] or statewide economic issues[2], to cite a few recently published articles.
Features 
Features serves as a catch-all for any and all in-depth articles that don't quite fit in the other sections. Often, this can include more literary nonfiction-style pieces, interviews, or articles covering larger trends in local and national issues.
Opinions 
The Indy Opinions section runs a range of opinions pieces, from balanced arguments for authentic erotics[3] to paranoid rants[4], and everything in between.
Arts 
The Arts section features reviews[5] of current art and previews[6] of local art events, conversations with prominent artists, and examinations[7] of the culture at large. The section's style is often marked by an illustrative contrast between criticism of high- and low-brow art, rarefied and popular culture.
Lit 
Poems, short stories, literary nonfiction, or even short plays all find room in the Indy Lit section.
Science 
The Indy is the only weekly publication in Providence to devote a section to science. The Science section publishes articles on scientific research[8] and innovation[9] and larger trends within the sciences[10], but also devotes space to personal/expository hybrid pieces[11] on science and essays examining the interactions between science and society.[12]
Sports/Foods 
This page has shifted between sports and food in recent years, with the two sections now switching weeks, and the page falling under the general heading of "Metabolics."
This page, always the last of the issue, is free-form, and is generally not even numbered. Past X pages have run comics, photo essays, and the like.


Notable alumni include Pulitzer Prize winning journalist David Rhode and Jezebel editor Jessica Grose. Hip-hop artist MC Paul Barman submitted two comics to the newspaper in 1997, they can be found on his website at http://mcpaulbarman.com/comics.html
