EnglishWhat is The Bulletin (esubulletin.com)?
Updated
The Bulletin is the student-run news outlet of Emporia State University, published at esubulletin.com and describing itself as the "Voice of the students since 1901." It covers campus news, opinion, sports, entertainment, and student life at ESU, with articles written and edited by named student staff. If you are looking for official university announcements or administrative information, this is a student publication rather than an official ESU communications channel.
Who runs it
The Bulletin is staffed by students, and its articles carry bylines and roles that make the structure visible:
- Editor-in-Chief — for example, Isabel Ayala, credited on news and entertainment pieces
- News Editor — Quin Peters
- Copy Editor — Ashlyn Thomison
- Staff Writer — Grayson Gomel, Drew Price
- Opinion Writer — Isabella Tyson
The masthead language ("Voice of the students since 1901") and the student role titles indicate a student media organization with editorial independence from university administration, though it covers the same institution.
What it covers
The site organizes content into sections that match a typical college newsroom:
| Section | Example coverage |
|---|---|
| News | ESU adopting Coursedog academic scheduling software; a Constitution Day conference for rural high school seniors |
| Opinion | Personal essays on sensitivity and on family traditions |
| Sports | ESU Soccer's draw against Northeastern State |
| Entertainment | The Art Program's inaugural "Art Unleashed" fundraiser |
| Hornet Life | Campus events and student-life items |
| Campus notices | Fall graduation regalia deadlines and delivery details |
Articles are dated and attributed, so you can judge how current a piece is and who wrote it.
How it is funded
The Bulletin runs a donation campaign on the site, with a stated goal and a running total. The stated purpose of donations is to pay for equipment, website hosting costs, and continued operation of the publication. Donations are processed through Stripe. The site does not present a subscription or paywall in the material available, but that is not a statement that all content is unrestricted — check the site directly for any access terms.
When to use it
- Useful for: student perspectives on ESU events, campus news reported by students, sports results, opinion writing, and event coverage you may not find in official channels.
- Not the right source for: official university policy, registration or graduation requirements, or administrative decisions. For those, go to ESU's own offices and pages — The Bulletin may report on them, but it is not the authority.
If you want to understand what campus life at Emporia State looks like from a student viewpoint, or you are researching student media operations, The Bulletin is a direct primary source. If you need to act on a deadline or policy, verify it with the university first.
