College Media Madness 2024

College Media Madness is an annual fundraising competition for student newsrooms. This year, we're bringing together student journalism outlets from across the United States to see which newsroom can raise the most money from March 24 through April 8, 2024, when the confetti falls.

Click on your favorite newsroom below and give a gift — every dollar counts! Then, watch them climb up the standings. Leaderboard last updated on -.
