How to Subscribe to The Tartan's Newsletter

Updated

The Tartan, Carnegie Mellon's student newspaper since 1906, offers a newsletter signup through a Mailchimp-hosted form. You can join by visiting the subscription link on the site and entering your details. The newsletter is aimed at readers who want the latest stories from CMU's campus, Oakland, Squirrel Hill, and the greater Pittsburgh region delivered to them.

Where to Find the Signup

The site's navigation includes a "Join The Newsletter" link. It points to a Mailchimp subscription form at:

https://thetartan.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=7699e3380a0e09ccab485a2bc&id=80db1150a0&f_id=0090e8e3f0

Opening that URL takes you to the hosted form where you provide your email address and confirm your subscription.

What You'll Get

The Tartan covers a wide range of sections, so the newsletter is a way to keep up with whatever the paper is publishing. Recent and recurring coverage areas include:

Section Example content
News CMU news, Pittsburgh news, campus developments
Sports Athlete spotlights, NCAA football coverage, Pirates analysis
Features Dining updates, campus clubs, student projects
Opinion EdBoard, letters to the editor, op-eds
SciTech Research and science stories
Pillbox Student life and campus culture

If you want a sense of the paper before subscribing, the homepage surfaces "Spotlighted Stories" such as CMU's U.S. News ranking, campus construction updates, and profiles of new faculty.

Practical Notes

  • The signup runs on Mailchimp, so you'll complete a standard email opt-in and may need to confirm via a link sent to your inbox.
  • The site also publishes a PaperPDF edition and maintains About and Contact pages if you'd rather reach the editorial team directly.
  • No pricing information appears in the available site material, so nothing here should be read as confirming whether any tier or paid option exists. Treat the newsletter as a subscription form you can evaluate on the signup page itself.
