They’re going to be able to see what’s going on at Winston-Salem State University from a student standpoint,” Caesar said. Alumni, incoming freshman and also people who don’t know anything about Winston-Salem State can be knowledgeable about the different events taking place on campus. “I want to see The News Argus continue to grow because it’s hard to go, back from being so good. So if everything will stay the same, we will not get worse. Our goal is to get better and by the spring of next semester, we may go bimonthly. We’ll use thenewsargus.com as a supplement until we actually get bimonthly, then it can run concurrently with the paper itself,” said sports editor George Croom.Don’t be fooled, the editors and reporters aren’t the only ones who can submit stories to The News Argus.
