Letter from the Outgoing Editor-in-Chief

Griffith Knoop December 31, 2018 0 Comments

I’ve been with the publication for about three years, now, but it feels like it’s been much longer than that. When I joined The Sting as Web Editor, things were a lot different: Student Media had a board that put all the big decisions to a vote; everyone in an editorial position got paid; we put our magazines out monthly. Though much has changed and despite all the struggling we’ve done,...

I Was a Linkin Park Superfan

Imagine this: It’s the year 2000. You’re six years old, sitting between your parents in your father’s 1994 Flareside Ford F-150. The radio’s playing - Star 94. The song starts with soft piano and a string synth pad. Clean vocals for a second. Then, a rapper and a full band punch in. It’s nu metal time. Hey, kid self. I’d like to introduce you to your favorite band for the next eight...

On June 27, the athletics department hosted Kennesaw State University’s Spirit Day at Bojangles’ in Kennesaw.

Football Coach Brian Bohannon helped make biscuits in the back with Bojangles’ employees! We spoke to Bohannon briefly about the...

Edit: This article was an April Fools' joke. Rumor: Effective January 2017, the SPSU-KSU merger will be reversed. A source close to The Sting revealed this information to us just yesterday. This may come as a bit of a shock: as a result of the overwhelming opposition to KSU buying out SPSU, the administration has devised a plan to strategically divide the two schools without disrupting...

[#TBT Album Review] Nine Inch Nails – The Downward Spiral

Griffith Knoop March 24, 2016 0 Comments

Note from the Editor-in-Chief: There was some discussion about whether or not to post this article due to its dark themes and explicit language. I have chosen to put this on our website for two reasons. One reason is that this album (and all music) is art and art doesn't need to be family friendly. The other reason is that the themes covered in the album are feelings and thoughts that are faced...

[#TBT Album Review] Kanye West – Late Registration

Griffith Knoop March 10, 2016 0 Comments

To kick off the first of many articles in The Sting’s new #TBT series, I’ve decided to review Kanye West’s sophomore effort, Late Registration. Every Thursday (starting today), we’re going to publish one review of an album, film, or TV show that’s at least a decade old. Before I start this review, I have a confession to make: I always had trouble getting into this album. I have no idea...
