How to Find Articles or Contact The Whitworthian

Updated

The Whitworthian is the student news site of Whitworth University, and you can browse its content by section — News, Sports, Arts & Culture, and Opinions — or scan the homepage for featured and recent stories. To reach a specific writer or editor, start with the byline on the article itself; the site's published material shows staff names attached to each story, though a dedicated contact page is not confirmed in the available information.

Browsing by section

The site organizes stories into clear categories, so the fastest way to find a type of coverage is to go to that section rather than scrolling the whole homepage.

Section What you'll find there Example from the site
News Campus events, organizations, student life "Psi Chi: Spring Clothing Drive" (Apr. 24, 2026)
Sports Game results, team and conference coverage Lacrosse win over Willamette; NWC tournament preview
Arts & Culture Artists, performances, exhibitions Chapel artist Byeongchan Jeong; Horn-A-Palooza
Opinions Student surveys, commentary, columns "Whitworth Overnight Hosting Experience Survey"

If you already know the topic but not the section, the homepage's "Recent Stories" and featured blocks are the quickest entry point — they surface the newest items across all categories.

Finding a specific article

  1. Identify the likely section from the table above (a game recap belongs in Sports, a concert feature in Arts & Culture).
  2. Open that section and scan headlines and dates. Headlines are descriptive, and each item lists a writer and a publication date.
  3. If you remember an author but not the title, use the byline as your anchor — staff writers such as Samantha Hannah Abeena Ellis, Eliana Jeffrey, and Bilal Hasan appear repeatedly across stories.
  4. Use your browser's find function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) on a section page to jump to a keyword in a headline.

The site's own search function is not confirmed in the available information, so section browsing and homepage scanning are the reliable methods.

Contacting a writer or editor

  • Start with the byline. Every story lists its author, often with a role such as "Staff Writer." That name is your first contact target.
  • Check the article page. Contact details, if published, typically appear near the byline or at the end of the piece.
  • Look for a contact or submission page. The available information does not confirm that a contact page or tip-submission guidelines exist, so treat this as something to check rather than assume.

If you want to pitch a story or submit a tip, look for submission guidelines on the site before reaching out — the presence of student-written opinion pieces and surveys suggests the publication engages with reader input, but the specific process is not documented in the material available here.
