How to Find News, Sports, and Arts & Life Sections on The Northerner

The Northerner (thenortherner.com) organizes its content into three main sections—News, Sports, and Arts & Life—each with its own labeled area on the homepage and a "View All" link to browse the full section. To find a specific type of story, scan the homepage for the section heading, then follow the "View All" link at the end of that block to see every article in the category.

Finding each section from the homepage

The homepage presents the sections in sequence, each with a heading, a few recent story previews, and a "View All" link. The table below shows what each section covers and how to reach it.

News

The News section carries campus, regional, and political reporting. Examples visible on the homepage include Ohio voters deciding on a constitutional amendment requiring certain ID to vote, absentee and mail-in voting rules, prediction markets ahead of midterms, and a Senate debate between Charles Booker and Rep. Andy Barr. Campus events also appear here, such as a presidential rally at Truist Arena and counter-protests nearby.

Sports

Sports focuses on Northern Kentucky University teams. Homepage examples include NKU men's soccer drawing 1-1 with Wright State, women's soccer shutting out Purdue Fort Wayne 7-0, and women's volleyball sweeps over Purdue Fort Wayne and Milwaukee. Each item names the sport, the opponent, and the result, so you can scan for the team you follow.

Arts & Life

Arts & Life covers campus culture: traditions, performances, and student life. Examples include Big Pink Volleyball, a Greek Week fundraiser for breast cancer now in its 13th year; Live at the Loch, a Norse Code Radio event at the amphitheater; and a behind-the-scenes look at costume work for SOTA productions.

Tips for locating a specific story

• Start with the section heading, not the search bar. The homepage groups stories under clear headings, so the fastest route is to scan for "News," "Sports," or "Arts & Life."
• Use "View All" when the story isn't in the preview block. Each section shows only a few recent items; the "View All" link opens the complete category.
• Check bylines if you're following a writer. Stories list the reporter or editor—for example, Michele McNulty covers sports, while Lura Becker and Erin Senn file news and voting stories—so a byline helps confirm you're in the right section.
• Expect overlap between News and campus life. Political and campus events (rallies, protests) appear under News, while traditions and performances sit under Arts & Life.

If a story doesn't appear under any of the three headings, it may be a newer item not yet surfaced on the homepage; browsing the relevant section via "View All" is the most reliable way to confirm.
