THE PARTHENON | The first edition of a newspaper called The Parthenon appeared in November 1898, making it one of the oldest university newspapers in the country. A news magazine by another name predated it. The Parthenon is published Tuesday through Friday during the regular academic year, and on Thursdays in the summer. It is produced by student editors who are responsible for the news and editorial content. The paper consistently wins awards in competition with professional journalists and other university programs.
The editor and managing editor are chosen by a media committee and they then choose their six-member staff to serve as online, news, wire, sports, Life! and photo editors. During the regular academic year, most of the stories printed in the paper are written by students taking reporting classes. A layout and design class produces the paper twice a week, thus earning students the clippings to build a professional portfolio important in applying for internships and jobs. Non-journalism students participate by writing columns, reviews and letters to the editor, or by serving as a staff editor if they have the necessary experience.
