Globe’s Point: Do not silence yourself; be loud

Written By The Globe Editorial Staff • March 19, 2025

We are living in a crazy timeline right now.

Globe’s Point: We’re more than just a student newspaper

Written By The Globe Editorial Staff • March 12, 2025

Community newspapers are becoming more and more of a lost art. Pittsburgh still has a few neighborhood-specific newspapers holding on, such as the “Northside Chronicle,” the “Homepage” in Hazelwood, the “Bulletin” in the area spanning Lawrenceville to Friendship and “Print” in the East Side.

Globe’s Point: Don’t be an over or underachiever

Written By The Globe Editorial Staff • March 5, 2025

Welcome back to campus after our not-quite-spring break. Hopefully you got enough sleep and some well-deserved time to slow down for a second. Getting back into classes, you may feel like you’ve been thrown into the back of a car seat with a driver who’s flooring it.

Globe’s Point: It’s likely your fault if your campus experience bores you

Written By The Globe Editorial Staff • February 19, 2025

“Gee, it sure is boring around here.”

Globe’s Point: We will continue to print as long as possible

Written By The Globe Editorial Staff • February 5, 2025

Newspapers are an old medium that could arguably be on its way out. We know that. But we also know that shifting to an online-only publication will decimate The Globe’s reach, influence and presence on campus.

Globe’s Point: Be kind to those around you

How many Globe’s Points have been about taking care of yourself and why you should pay attention to your health? Probably too many, but it is still true even if it has been overstated. What about the other people in your life? Emphasizing their health is a point we haven’t beat to death quite yet, yet it’s one that is equally as important as self-care.

Globe’s Point: Why does news writing look different?

Written By The Globe Editorial Staff • January 22, 2025

When reading The Globe and content from other media outlets, does it seem like they use specific spellings for every word? Or refuse to use certain words? Or maybe you’ve noticed that numbers are sometimes spelled out and sometimes aren’t?

Globe’s Point: Don’t make your club a clique

Written By The Globe Editorial Staff • January 15, 2025

Like it or not, deciding to go to a college or university does not just involve going to classes, getting your A’s and moving on with your life. While we’re all at a small university, with only around 3,500 people on campus, going to people’s dorms or walking around Downtown, the same is true at any other big school too.

Globe’s Point: Good luck this semester

Written By The Globe Editorial Staff • January 8, 2025

Who expected a winter wonderland the very first day we returned to classes? Regardless of the weather, we all hope that your winter break was enjoyable.

Globe’s Point: Be proud of your accomplishments

Written By The Globe Editorial Staff • December 4, 2024

Happy finals week everyone. With this being our last issue until the next semester, we wanted to end on a positive note and reflect on everything that we as a university – and as a paper – have accomplished throughout the semester. 

Globe’s Point: Why don’t we cover national news stories in our paper?

Written By The Globe Editorial Staff • November 20, 2024

With an abundant supply of national news stories, you might ask why we don’t report on national news stories outside of Pittsburgh and the campus community.

Globe’s Point: Misinformation is not the way to cope with the election

Written By The Globe Editorial Staff • November 13, 2024

Yes, we’re doing an election point again.
