Welcome to another exciting edition of the McKendree Review! We are very excited about this issue! We would like to thank all of our readers for keeping up with the McKendree Review as we have moved online. As a special treat, we have an exciting announcement. Our next issue will be a printed edition! It will contain articles from past issues along with a few new articles. It will be a semester in review! Since we will have a printed issue around the time of school breaks, we will not post an online issue until we return after the new year. We will still post stories that require special attention when need be. Look for the printed edition on newsstands in December! (more…)

Welcome to another exciting edition of the McKendree Review! We are very excited about this issue! As we continue to grow, we want the majority of our articles to be student news oriented rather than what is happening around town. For this reason, a majority of the stories we cover will come from our students, but will cover off campus events if our students are involved. We are their voice, and we do our best to make sure that we are accurately presenting their views. We understand that we must remain unbiased, but our student's voices come first. We will not sugar coat hard topics. That being said we would like everyone we interview to be completely honest with our staff member to ensure we are accurately portraying the information presented to us. Also, we are always looking for new t...

“Leditors”- Letter from the Editors

Reporting the news is difficult. Here at The McKendree Review, we believe that no matter what kind of news it is, there is a story that needs to be told. Our goal this semester is to deliver news for McKendree by McKendree. Meaning, we want to tell your stories! In this age of technology, it is hard to understand what the difference between “the news” and our news-feeds. There also many benefits; the news is literally at our fingers with the various news apps and search bars at the ready on our mobile devices. As a student run paper, it is our job to deliver campus and related news to you, just as effectively as news organizations do through apps and social media. With this “Throw-Back-Thursday” Issue, we hope to provide examples of the kinds of stories that were in the news for McKendre...

[Iss. 7] || Leditors | A Letter from the Editors

Hello everyone, We would like to apologize for the delay. The Review staff had every intention to publish the online edition of Iss. 7, but there was a recent death in one of our member's family so we wanted to give her some time to cope and focus on her studies instead of worrying about the last online issue for the semester. In this issue, everything that was printed in the seventh issue will be included in this online version as well as some new material! We have an article on renowned graphic novelist, Marjane Satrapi; a phenomenal interview about colorblind love, a detailed scoop regarding McKendree's future and more! Enjoy the last online issue of the semester and have a great holiday! ~ The Editors A Personal Letter from our Editor-in-Chief: Dear McKendree University students...
