How Can Readers Access The Pacer Online?

Updated

The Pacer is available online at thepacer.net, the independent student news publication of the University of Tennessee at Martin. Anyone can visit the site directly in a browser — no app or subscription is mentioned in the site's own description. It is most useful for UT Martin students, alumni, faculty, and anyone tracking campus news and Skyhawk athletics.

What you'll find on the homepage

The homepage is the main entry point and surfaces the most recent reporting. Based on the site's current front page, that includes:

  • Sports coverage — for example, a recent item headlined "UT Martin Volleyball goes undefeated in Skyhawk Classic," bylined Isaiah Murphy and dated September 21, 2026.
  • News and campus stories — the publication describes itself as the "independent voice of the University of Tennessee at Martin since 1928," so expect coverage tied to the university community.

Because the homepage rotates as new stories publish, treat it as a live feed rather than a fixed archive.

How to browse by category

The Pacer organizes content into sections, so you don't have to scroll the homepage to find a specific type of story:

  1. Open thepacer.net in any browser.
  2. Use the site's section navigation to move between categories such as News and Sports.
  3. Open an individual story to read the full article, including its headline, author byline, and date.

The exact menu labels and placement aren't documented in the available site information, so if a link isn't obvious, look for a top navigation bar or a "Sports"/"News" heading on the homepage.

Who this is for

Common snags

  • No dedicated app mentioned. Access is through the website; don't assume a mobile app exists.
  • Content changes daily. A story you saw earlier may move off the homepage — use the section pages or search to relocate it.
  • Archives. The publication dates to 1928, but the site information provided doesn't specify how far back the online archive reaches, so older print-era issues may not all be digitized.

For the fastest access, bookmark thepacer.net and go straight to the Sports or News section depending on what you're following.
