The KSU Sentinel

As I view the KSU Sentinel, I find myself interested in the opinion and political pieces of the website, both current and past issues. The story title “Investigators Hungry for Answers at KSU” piqued my interests. I’d like to know if there is nepotism and corruption in my local government and I want it published by my local newspaper. The opinion piece about retail stores bypassing the Thanksgiving holiday and going straight for Christmas, titled, “Let’s Abolish Thanksgiving.” I have said to my wife on several occasions, that It seems like the Christmas decorations go up the day before Halloween. I see from these two articles that they are inline with my current views of what I want to hear. I read an article about Hispanic Heritage month, and the diversity of KSU, which is a big issue in our household. All of these common interest articles lead me to believe that students at KSU are interested in the same things we all are interested in: crime, discovering corruption, and diversity. These items are the same types of articles I look for when I look at news websites. I read an article about the need for inclusion of immigrants in getting in-state tuition. This is just another item that effects of our society: immigration. The writers and editorial staff talk about the same current national issues that I read but they are localized for KSU students on things that effect KSU students. I mentioned crime because there was an article I read about a shooting a few blocks away from campus that raised concerns for students. Sadly, deadly shootings all over the country are being publicized because of the senseless nature of them. I don’t care where you stand on the fence of gun control, I feel that guns used in crimes are clearly an issue, nationally and at KSU. The Sentinel is different from the USA today, because the Sentinel covers the interests of students at KSU, but the substance in both papers are the same: politics, crime, diversity, and pop culture; things that seem to pique all of our interests, no matter the age, or location.
