The beautiful faces of televised news have taken a beating lately, and no amount of thick makeup can cover up the bruises.
As election results filtered in Tuesday night, a stately Tom Brokaw delivered the most salient point from a long night of chirping and chatter on the airwaves.
After California romped ASU this past weekend, I was reminded of a column I wrote near the end of last semester predicting that our beloved Sun Devils would finish above .500. I cited what I thought to be a weak schedule and a potentially huge breakout year for Vontaze Burfict.
Teen bullying and teen suicide have hit our collective psyche like a familiar ton of bricks these past several weeks, thanks to the media’s fascination with the topic and the tragic stories that continue to emerge. They are stories that, no matter how many we hear about, are just as raw and penetrating as the first time we woke up and heard about a bright young kid who ended his life on the news.
Arizona State University is not the University of Notre Dame.
Arizona politics heated up this summer as every new immigration-related development gave people on both sides of the issue something to scream and holler about.
Education reform is a hot topic these days, what with documentaries and reverse commencement addresses from the U.S. secretary of education filling up the newsfeeds.
Jon Stewart announced on “The Daily Show” last week that he would be holding a “Rally to Restore Sanity” in Washington D.C.
The front page of The State Press on Friday was brimming with insightfully juxtaposed stories. Intentionally or not, the stories hinted at a growing problem at ASU: massively unsustainable growth.
Today is a sad day. I’m writing a column about Justin Bieber.
I spent this past summer roasting under the Arizona sun, granted no respite to return home to the cooler, albeit grossly humid, refuges of Philadelphia. I was stuck in Phoenix the entire time, coping with excessive heat, excessive political controversy and an excessive case of miss-my-little-sister-itis.
For students who are new to the state or checked out from following the news this summer, Arizona has endured a maelstrom of political controversy thanks to a tough new immigration law and an unelected governor’s Sarah Palin-styled comments about beheadings down at the border.
Chris Brown’s breakdown at the BET Awards last week reminds me of Mark McGwire’s teary-eyed confession earlier this year that he took performance-enhancing drugs during his baseball career.
Thanks to the landmark SB 1070 bill Gov. Jan Brewer signed on Friday, Arizona is garnering national and international attention — and with it, required scrutiny from “Saturday Night Live” and the “The Daily Show.”
Some lucky Sun Devils may be graduating next month, but I and a few other thousand are hitting that majestic halfway point at the end of the semester. Breaking out of our suffocating sophomore slump, I’d like to think we’ve done a lot and learned enough in the past two years to warrant recognition. We don’t need a commencement, but some acknowledgement or pats on the back for making it this far would be nice.
Last semester, I wrote a column lambasting Newsweek for their penchant to use overly sensationalized magazine covers to attract readers. I was critical of Newsweek and other magazines for trying to stay relevant in a changing, digitized marketplace. They didn’t need to pander to our lowest sensibilities, I thought.
A lot of bad news has been circulating around ASU recently. The State Press front page hasn’t made it easy to avoid the doom and gloom of more budget cuts, increased tuition and fees and faculty salary cuts, either.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year again — a time for ASU students to resuscitate their brains from what was undoubtedly the craziest spring break ever, return to campus, and hunker down on important collegiate matters.
The University of Connecticut’s women’s basketball team rewrote the record books on International Women’s Day Monday night, winning its 71st straight game, which they played against Notre Dame.
