What is The Scribe Online at thescribeonline.com?

Updated

The Scribe Online is the student news outlet of the University of Bridgeport, published at thescribeonline.com under the name "University of Bridgeport (The Scribe)." It is a publication—not an official university administrative site—so it carries student-written news, entertainment coverage, and opinion rather than admissions, registration, or policy information.

Who runs it and what it covers

The site is tied to the University of Bridgeport and operates as a student publication. Its content mixes several categories:

  • Campus and general news — items filed under "Other News" and "Uncategorized"
  • Entertainment — album releases, TV reviews, and games coverage
  • Opinion and commentary — including politically oriented discussion
  • Podcast episodes — audio segments published alongside written posts

A representative example is the post "The Scribe Online Podcast – Police Militarization, School Shootings, and Political Correctness," which pairs a podcast format with a politically charged topic. Entertainment posts follow a similar pattern, such as coverage of T.I.'s ninth studio album Paperwork, a review of the History Channel's Houdini programming, a Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn game review, and a piece on musician Mary Lambert.

What the content tells you about the site

Posts are attributed to individual writers and editors (for example, DiaMond Artis, Kevin I. Matos, and Leanne Coelho) and carry publication dates. The dated entries visible on the site cluster around late 2014, which is useful context if you are checking whether the outlet is currently active or using it as an archive.

If you are trying to determine whether a specific article is current, check the byline date on the post itself rather than assuming the site is updated continuously.

How to use it

  • For student journalism or campus perspectives: treat it as a student outlet, and expect opinion and entertainment alongside news.
  • For official university business: go to the university's own administrative pages instead. The Scribe is not the place to confirm tuition, deadlines, or institutional policy.
  • For research or citation: note the author and date on each post, since the site mixes news, review, and commentary under one banner.
