In a society full of rampant misinformation and blatantly biased news sources, the Campus Times is proud to work with extremely well-researched opinion articles that are submitted without any references to sources. 

“The editors want me to cite my sources, but it’s all true stuff that I’ve been hearing in the news,” one writer said. “It’s really just common sense at that point.”

When we polled our writers about where they source their news, 40% said social media websites such as Instagram and Facebook, while the remaining 60% sourced their information from local news channels and newspapers. Among those 60%, only 12% said that their only news source is the renowned Campus Times.

“This is great for us!” a former Campus Times editor exclaimed. “We get to publish more articles with less effort on the end of the writers, and we get to stay overtime in the office helping our writers look for their sources!” 

As a dedicated news source, we truly value representing every opinion possible, and we highly encourage submitting more sourceless articles for us to look through. (Please note that if our opinions section is overwhelmed with articles, the humor section is not opposed to receiving these new articles.)
