The student newspaper at Judge has been around for as long as the school has. The Bulldog Press has been the name of the publication since 1980. Since that time the BDP has won numerous awards – winning top honors from the Salt Lake Tribune, the Utah Press Association, the Utah Journalism Educators Association. The Utah Press Association named it Best High School newspaper for 2009-10 (1A-3A category).

The paper has been recognized nationally as well, most notably by the National Scholastic Press Association, which awarded the BDP "Best of Show" designation at their national convention four times.

Like all print newspapers, the BDP has been 'converging' its content for the past few years, incorporating Internet TV, blogging, and podcasting into its coverage. Read our latest issue here. To see the latest online media from the staff visit judgebulldo.gs
