The Lumberjack

The Lumberjack NAU's student newspaper | Reporting on local news in Northern Arizona since 1914. More about us: http://www.jackcentral.org.

The Lumberjack has been a Flagstaff staple since its founding as The Pine in 1914. In 1946, students voted to change the name to The Lumberjack, and the newspaper has gradually evolved into its current form as a weekly publication.

"After a month of silence, the School of Communication returned to life this week with the beginning of the spring semester. Seeing the Media Innovation Center full of hard-working student journalists immediately sparked that motivation in me to push myself from the get-go.

I am so grateful to be in a space that promotes individual growth. Peer support is something I have seen help The Lumberjack in the past. With the comfortability we found in production last semester, I am certain we will only continue to grow and expand our reach.

I am thankful that The Lumberjack has a platform where we can reach viewers throughout Arizona. We would not be here if it weren’t for our audience and we will continue to produce content for our readers to enjoy."
