The Tartan

The Tartan is a student-run bi-weekly newspaper at Radford University. Members may or may not belong to a variety of student organizations. TAKE ME

Radford’s weekly student-run newspaper, The Tartan, features news and information about Radford University and the surrounding area and is distributed both on campus and around town. The newspaper also exists to provide an experimental ground for students so they can experience what it takes to make it as a journalist, whether they want to be a reporter, editor, copy editor, editor-in-chief, desig

ner or even something else entirely. We proved the support, outlet, and leadership opportunities to make you and your experience at Radford University thrive by expanding your portfolio, engaging with people from all backgrounds, being apart of something big, and giving the tools you need to “make it.”

The Tartan strives to provide fair and balanced coverage of the community and to give a fair opportunity to work for all students who wish to be a part of the student-run newspaper. Our sections include News, Culture (arts and entertainment), The Tea (opinions and editorials), and Sports.

“Our Opinion” pieces are written collectively by members of The Tartan Editorial Board. The Editorial Board is comprised of the editing staff, the Tea writers, and other Radford University students. These undergraduate and graduate students represent multiple class levels and different political, cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. The Editorial Board is open to all RU students who apply. Please take a few minutes and complete our survey that will help us help you get the right content out that you want to read!

This month we are celebrating Black journalists who have made a difference in society.

Ida B. Wells was an American journalist and sociologist who published “A Red Record”, a book that educated the actions of lynching and violence of African Americans in the South. She also co-founded the NAACP who fight to put an end to race-based discrimination.

Ida B. Wells was a key figure in history for the evolution of black journalists and African Americans all around. ✊🏽📝
