The Carnegie Pulse

The Carnegie Pulse

"The Carnegie Pulse" is an online-only news magazine at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Its online presence allows it to post real-time news and events relevant to the campus community. It is often referred to simply as "The Pulse".

Content

"The Carnegie Pulse" is divided into three main content sections: News, Art & Culture, and Opinions. It also has an events listing, classifieds, and course scheduling program.

News

The Pulse covers news relevant to all members of the Carnegie Mellon community, including staff and graduate students. The news section is focused on reporting on issues and events which are topical to its audience.

Art & Culture

The Art & Culture section is dedicated to entertainment and cultural issues on campus. Here one might find reviews of movies, on-campus events, or social changes on campus.

Opinions

The Carnegie Pulse aims to represent the views of readers through the Opinions section. It is open to contribution from the campus community. Though the section hasn't proved entirely successful, it is important that The Pulse continues to provide a medium through which ideas can be debated if and when the student body decides to do so.

History

The Carnegie Pulse was first published on February 24, 2004. The organization was formed by three undergraduate students who had been heavily involved at "The Tartan". It was founded to bring factual, objective reporting which represents the interests of Carnegie Mellon's on- and off-campus community. It is committed to treating writers and readers with great respect. The Pulse is free from sensationalism and bias, and though it is officially recognized by the University, it is independently financed. The online medium was selected so The Pulse could be updated continuously instead of weekly without the financial difficulty of a print publication. The Pulse served as a catalyst for change in the media environment at Carnegie Mellon, allowing competition between organizations to drive improvement. During The Tartan's Natrat scandal, The Pulse provided a reliable and relevant news source to the Carnegie Mellon Community.
