Staff
The exact number of staff who work on The Flat Hat varies each year but generally ranges between forty-five and fifty permanent staff members (students who are listed in the staff box of each issue of the newspaper). Students with or without experience in journalism are often encouraged to join. In 2010, the newspaper began an intern program focusing on providing journalistic experiences for underclassmen at William and Mary.
Like most other collegiate student newspapers, the staff includes not only reporters and columnists but an accounting department, a copyediting section, and an executive and editorial staff.
