- Multimedia – Photo and video work, including event photo essays and game galleries.
Who produces it
Articles carry bylines from student editors and contributors, with roles such as News Editor, Sports Editor, and Editor-in-Chief listed alongside names. This confirms the site is student-run in its editorial output, consistent with its identity as a student news publication.
How to use it
If you want campus-focused reporting, start with the News section for university and Tucson community stories, and Top Stories for athletics. For culture and features, go to Arts & Life; for visual coverage, use Multimedia. Each section includes a "View All" link to browse beyond the homepage highlights.

This indicates some form of paid subscription or purchase option exists.
