EnglishWhat Is The Parthenon and What Kind of Content Does It Publish?
Updated
The Parthenon is Marshall University's student newspaper, published at marshallparthenon.com. It covers campus news, campus life, sports, opinion, and features, with articles written by student reporters and editors. If you want Marshall University news, student perspectives, or coverage of Huntington, West Virginia events, this is the site's focus.
Who runs it
The Parthenon is a student-run publication. Its articles carry student bylines with roles such as Student Reporter, News Editor, Sports Editor, and Opinions & Culture Editor. That means the reporting and editorial voice come from Marshall students rather than a professional outside newsroom.
What sections and topics it covers
The site organizes content into labeled sections. Based on recent stories, these include:
| Section | Example coverage |
|---|---|
| News | Campus resources, community efforts |
| Campus Life | Student organizations, homecoming events |
| Features | Student profiles, local spotlights |
| Opinion | Cultural commentary and debate |
| Sports | Football, men's basketball |
| Clubs & Organizations | Student government and campus groups |
Coverage blends university news with Huntington community topics, such as downtown events and local attractions.
What else is on the site
Beyond articles, the homepage surfaces several interactive and utility elements:
- A reader poll — for example, asking whether students plan to stay in West Virginia after graduation.
- Local weather — hourly and extended forecasts for Huntington.
- A spotlight area — highlighting selected stories such as theatre productions and student foundation work.
Who it's for
The Parthenon serves Marshall University students, faculty, and the surrounding Huntington community. It's useful if you want student-reported campus news, event coverage, sports results, and opinion pieces from a university perspective.
