What kind of stories does The Collegio cover?

Updated

The Collegio covers Pittsburg State University (Pitt State) campus news across four main areas: campus news and events, opinions and columns, sports, and campus life. Based on its published sections and article listings, it functions as a student-focused campus publication rather than a general regional or national news outlet. If you want to follow Pitt State student activities, campus traditions, and Gorillas athletics, its coverage is aimed directly at that audience.

News: campus events, ceremonies, and student resources

The news section reports on specific campus happenings and institutional events. Examples from the site include:

  • A dance masterclass hosted by a freelance choreographer and dance teacher, described as a safe space for students to explore dance routines.
  • A 9/11 remembrance ceremony, noting the 25th anniversary and that ROTC read the names of the 2,977 victims and did one push-up per life lost.
  • The launch of "Gorilla Action," a platform that centralizes volunteer and community service opportunities for students and lets organizations post service needs.
  • The nursing department's 10th annual White Coat Ceremony at the Bicknell Family Center for Performing Arts.

This pattern suggests news coverage leans toward event-based reporting: what happened, who organized it, and how students participated.

Opinions and columns: student commentary and reviews

The opinions section carries student-written commentary and reviews. One listed example is a book review and opinion piece on the announced live-action adaptation of the book series Dungeon Crawler Carl, framed around whether it "will make the cut." Columns also appear here, such as a piece on Jim Johnson beginning his 17th year at Pitt State in a new position.

If you're looking for student perspectives, criticism, or editorial takes rather than straight reporting, this is the section to check.

Sports: Pitt State Gorillas coverage

Sports coverage focuses on Pitt State athletics. A listed example is a game report headlined "Hornets hand gorillas second loss in the jungle," filed under Sports. Coverage appears to center on game results and team performance involving the Gorillas.

Campus Life: clubs, fundraisers, and college news

The Campus Life section covers student organizations and community events. One example is the Honors College association's "Go Forth and Conquer 5k" run in Cleveland Plaza for the ALS association, which was open to all of Pittsburg and drew an estimated 40 participants with first, second, and third place awards. Another listed item covers "All Things Social Work: Gorilla Social Work."

It is less suited to readers seeking national news, in-depth investigative reporting, or coverage outside the Pitt State community. The site's own description field is empty, so the section structure and article listings above are the clearest signal of its scope.
