How to Navigate The Skidmore News Website

The Skidmore News organizes its site around a simple top menu: News, Arts and Entertainment, Sports, Opinions, Features, About, Archive, and Contact. If you want current campus coverage, start with News; if you need a past article, use Archive; if you need to reach the publication, use Contact. The homepage also surfaces featured articles with dates and author bylines, so you can often find recent highlights without leaving the front page.

Main sections and what they contain

The menu labels are the fastest way to narrow down what you are looking for.

The site describes itself as "The Campus Authority since 1925," which is useful context if you are citing it or checking how long it has covered the campus.

Finding current stories on the homepage

The homepage is built around featured articles. Each entry shows a headline, a date, and an author byline, followed by a "Read more →" link to the full piece.

From the page evidence, recent featured items include:

• "JUST SPORTS OR JUST DISRESPECTFUL? Sydney Sweeney's Controversial Return to Campaigning" — September 28, 2026, by Lyla Metheny
• "SGA Speech Night: Fall 2026" — September 24, 2026, by Casey Byrne and Shayla Gerkin
• "SGA to Begin Providing Financial Compensation for Members" — September 18, 2026, by Bradley Kadets
• "A Sign of Our Times" — May 5, 2026, by Aaron Sensenig

This pattern matters for navigation: if you only need the latest campus stories, the homepage may be enough. If you need a specific topic, use the section menu instead of scrolling.

Reaching past coverage

Use the Archive section when you need older articles rather than current featured stories. The homepage shows only a limited set of featured pieces, so Archive is the appropriate path for anything not currently displayed.

Contacting the publication

The Contact section is the entry point for reaching The Skidmore News. The page evidence shows a contact block with placeholders for street address, city, state, zip, and phone number, so treat those fields as the site's contact area rather than confirmed details. For anything not covered there, the About section provides background on the publication.

A practical navigation path

1. Open the homepage to scan featured articles and their dates.
2. Choose a menu section (News, Arts and Entertainment, Sports, Opinions, or Features) to browse by topic.
3. Use Archive for older articles not shown on the homepage.
4. Use About for background and Contact to reach the publication.

The main friction point is expecting the homepage to list everything. It does not; it highlights featured articles, so topic browsing and archive lookups belong in the menu sections.
