Being prepared in an increasingly violent city
With a 15 percent incident report increase from January to April as compared to last year’s data of the same time period, it is clear to see that Keene has statistically become more crime ridden. Moreover, many of the crimes this city, and by extension, this campus have seen, have been violent crimes, or crimes [...]
A dedicated community can overcome any hardship
Throughout this spring semester Keene has experienced some hard news to shake—from numerous assaults and attacks to exploding plastic bottles all over the city. nd of course the effects of the Newtown shooting and the Boston Marathon bombings made their way into the hearts of students. But even among these tests of strength Keene State [...]
Breaking news coverage turns into a media mess
First, it was, “They may or may not have someone in custody.” Then, they had a federal source saying they had a suspect in custody heading to the Federal Court House. At the same time, other news sources said they had no confirmed information on a suspect in custody. Then the explications started to come: [...]
From this tragedy will come hope and healing
As a nation and as a part of New England, we’ve experienced the rollercoaster of emotions involved with tragedy—from shock, to disbelief, anger, confusion and back again. As of press time, three lives were lost Monday in the bombings at the Boston Marathon, and 176 people were wounded. These numbers continue to grow. What was [...]
There’s a lot to be said about an extra hour

Listen! The students are trying to say something
An honest reflection from the student body showed itself on a map of the KSC campus and pointed to the Young Student Center as the center of campus. Many students generally agree that Appian Way as well is the center of campus. This information isn’t breaking news, but what is interesting is the way the [...]
Local bars are a little lacking in their security
