The Tartan, Radford's student-run newspaper

Radford’s weekly student-run newspaper, The Tartan, features news and information about Radford University and its surrounding area, which is distributed both on and off campus. 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, designer 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. Members may or may not belong to a variety of student organizations. The Editorial Board is open to all RU students who apply.
