History of The News Argus
The News Argus began as the Teachers College Informer, which commenced publication in 1938. In 1962, the TC Informer, as it came to be known, held a contest for students to rename the newspaper to The News Argus. The Argus, a character from Greek Mythology was a 100-eyed monster, or a watchful guardian, who even in his sleep could have eyes open to keep guard. The year 2002 marked the 40th anniversary of The News Argus. By 2003 the paper changed again with a redesign and started an online presence -- thenewsargus.com.-- using College Publisher content management system. Fall 2006, the paper changed from being a monthly publication to twice a month.
