I know a few students in the newsroom who should apply.

The Associated Press Sports Editors are sponsoring four $1,000 scholarships for collegiate sports journalists.

Show us you already know how to make deadline and apply NOW.

@iamchrisjung Love that it's two Kentucky products playing at Murray State. Here's hoping for a good run in the NCAA.

Had some technical difficulties so this is getting posted a tad late. Shoutout Kristopher Fister (our Photo Editor) for making a great template.

In other Murray State basketball news, @RacersWBB also beat Evansville. Drake's women lost to Valpo which means it's now a two-way tie for first place between the Racers and Bears. Saturday will be big as the Racers play Indiana State in their regular season finale.

As SPLC's Mike Hiestand tells @LALoyolan, "It's not that expensive to run a student newspaper, but it does take commitment. I think that certainly at this moment, there has never been a more important moment for young people to have their voices heard.” https://t.co/bmzAtC9smi
