Radford’s weekly student-run newspaper, The Tartan, features news and information about Radford University and the surrounding area and is distributed both on campus and around town.
The newspaper also exists to provide an experimental ground for students so they can experience what it takes to make it as a journalist, whether they want to be a reporter, copy editor, editor, designer or something else.
The Tartan strives to provide fair and balanced coverage of the community and to give a fair opportunity to work for all students who wish to be a part of the student-run newspaper.
