Romanticizing college vs. living it

By the time we step on Seton Hall’s campus, most of us have already envisioned what college should be like. Golden-hour walks to class, lattes next to color-coded notebooks, friends laughing on super green lawns—these are the scenes in our minds. The real-life version of college has been shoved in our subconscious long before we even take our first course.

A press that needs permission isn’t free

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said journalists must agree not to disclose unauthorized information to maintain access to the Pentagon on Sept. 19. News organizations were given until Oct. 14 to accept the new restrictions.

NJ PBS is dead, what now?

A mere two months after Congress rescinded funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), New Jersey’s Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) announced it will close in July 2026. The loss of federal funds was the final blow after Gov. Phil Murphy cut state funding by 75%  in June 2025.

Never let a clumsy bone stop you

Falling is a way of life. Accidentally walking into a Handicap parking sign pole when meeting a freshman for the first time is a part of the journey. Clumsiness is beautiful in its own lack of spatial awareness and directionally challenged way.

E-Board Column: Just getting started

It was late in the summer before my senior year when Emma Thumann asked me to be the Setonian’s news copy editor. I had never done a lick of work for the paper. I am as much a journalist as I am a person who can do long division; that is to say, not at all. How I came into consideration for this position remains a mystery, but I type before you today as a proud member of the Setonian’s 100th editorial board.

E-Board column: Maybe it is fate

I’ve never been someone who believes in fate, of higher powers or external forces and wonders influencing my every thought. But when I became editor-in-chief, I learned something about the paper that made me reconsider my stance.
