Who Writes for The Parthenon and How to Get in Touch

The Parthenon is Marshall University's student newspaper, and its articles are written by Marshall students serving as reporters and editors, with each story carrying a byline that names the author and their role. If you want to reach the paper, the site is your starting point for contact information, though the specific contact details are not listed in the available page content — you would need to check the site directly for a contact page or email address.

Who writes the articles

Every story on the site is credited to an individual, and the credit line tells you both the name and the position. From the published stories, the roles that appear include:

• Student Reporter — the most common byline, covering news, features, campus life, and sports
• Sports Editor — handles athletics coverage
• Opinions & Culture Editor — writes and oversees opinion and culture pieces
• News Editor — covers news and conducts interviews

Examples from the site show this pattern clearly: Olivia Smith is credited as a Student Reporter on a campus resources story, Alana Romero Lozano as Sports Editor on football coverage, Claire Johnson as Opinions & Culture Editor on an opinion piece, and Soleil Woolard as News Editor on a Q&A with the provost.

Bylines also include the publication date, so you can see when a piece ran alongside who wrote it.

What the paper covers

The Parthenon publishes across several sections, which gives you a sense of the range its student writers handle:

The site also runs a poll and a local weather panel for Huntington, alongside its editorial content.

How to get in touch or get involved

The available page content does not include a specific email address, phone number, or staff directory, so the reliable path is to look for a contact or "about" section on the site itself. For students who want to write rather than just read, the bylines show that the paper is staffed by students in reporter and editor roles — the natural route is to reach out to the editorial team through whatever contact method the site provides and ask about contributing.

If you are trying to contact a specific writer, the byline gives you their name and beat, which makes it easier to direct your message to the right person once you have the paper's contact details.
