When I was graduating high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do when I grew up. More urgently, what I wanted to do when I got to college. I knew everything I didn’t want to do, but couldn’t figure out what my ever-important major would be. Point Park’s mass communication major really appealed to me...

It’s no surprise that Trump says stupid things, like, really stupid things. Fortunately, this isn’t going to be another one of those articles talking about them. Instead, I want to talk about the journalism industry. While many reporters and writers, a majority of which were white, have spoken ...

It’s no secret that The Globe has been following and even kickstarting some of the developmental changes being taken to secure our campus from outsiders for quite some time.

Donald Trump has said many things. I should say typed, because most of them come from behind a computer screen via his Twitter account. When he does actually speak in public, it doesn’t get any better than his usual 280 characters. He topped all of his greatest tweets and most outrageous comments with this one. The...

We’ve all been exposed to this immature blame game our government has become obsessed with over the past week - is it a Schumer shutdown or a Trump shutdown? We’ve come to the realization that it doesn’t matter. Politicians are too busy shifting blame, unable to focus on the root of the problem - creating policy to ben...

When I was a child, I watched a lot of superhero shows and read a lot of comics. Two of my favorite characters were, of course, Superman and Spider-Man. Their real identities, Clark Kent and Peter Parker, both worked for newspapers, and I always admired them because I couldn’t imagine how they were able to ...

Here we are, people. The year is 2018, and somehow, the world is not a pile of ash. The presidency of Donald Trump turns one year old on Sunday, Jan. 20, and these past 365 days have been anything but normal for our president.

PointWeb is at the core of our collegiate experience; it holds the key to everything we are academically but its functions are less than desirable for students trying to track degree progress on their own. Though Point Park made a valiant effort over Thanksgiving break to modernize their website, the...

After packing away ornaments into small, plastic boxes and stuffing my oversized, fake Christmas tree into three different orange plastic tubs, I began to realize that I had nothing new to look forward to.
