The Parthenon is the student-run newspaper of Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. The newspaper was established in 1898, making it one of the oldest student newspapers in the United States. The paper was created as a platform for student journalism and to serve the Marshall University community, and is currently owned and operated by Marshall University's School of Journalism and Mass Communications. Based in Huntington, West Virginia, The Parthenon covers a wide range of topics relevant to the Marshall University community and the surrounding area. This includes campus news, sports, local events, arts and entertainment, as well as broader issues affecting college students. The newspaper provides both print and digital content, allowing students to gain hands-on experience in various aspects of journalism while keeping their peers informed about important campus and community matters. **One interesting fact**: The Parthenon newspaper shares its name with the famous ancient Greek temple in Athens, but interestingly, it's also the namesake of a full-scale replica of the Parthenon located in Nashville, Tennessee. This replica, built in 1897 for Tennessee's Centennial Exposition, was initially intended to be temporary but became a permanent structure due to its popularity, showcasing an unexpected connection between ancient Greek architecture, American history, and modern student journalism .
