What Sections and Topics Does The Outlook Cover?

Updated

The Outlook (outlook.monmouth.edu) is Monmouth University's student news publication, and its homepage organizes content into clearly labeled sections so you can jump straight to the coverage you want. The main navigation lists News, Sports, Opinion, Features, Lifestyles, Entertainment, Comics, and Politics, with additional channels for Climate, Club & Greek News, The Verge, Editorial, and Student Voices. A weekly issue archive and a search box let you browse past editions or find a specific article.

Main sections

Section What you'll find there

Additional channels

Beyond the primary sections, the site also carries:

  • Climate – environmental and sustainability reporting
  • Club & Greek News – student organizations and Greek life
  • The Verge – a distinct content stream within the publication
  • Editorial – the publication's official editorial voice
  • Student Voices – first-person and contributed student writing

Finding a specific article

Two tools on the homepage help you locate content:

  1. This Week's Issue – a "Click to View This Week's Issue" link surfaces the current weekly edition, useful if you want to read the paper as a single issue rather than by section.
  2. Search – a search field lets you look up articles by keyword when you already know the topic or headline you want.

The archive link in the top navigation gives access to previously published issues if you're looking for older coverage.

What the coverage looks like in practice

Recent headlines show the range of topics: a Student Government Association vote to defund The Outlook, a cybersecurity incident and subsequent lawsuits, the death of former university president Grey Dimenna, a pipe burst in Rechnitz Hall, women's lacrosse results, a campus bookstore outsourcing decision, and a student innovation showcase called HawkTank. That mix reflects how the sections work together — hard news, sports, features, and opinion all appear on the same homepage.

If you're new to the site, start with the section that matches your interest, or use the search box if you're chasing a specific story.
