For years The News Argus has been
responsible for producing high-quality
news for Winston-Salem State. Now,
WSSU's student-run newspaper has been
tasked with a new assignment.
The News Argus staff has been selected to
manage the sports and graphics sections
of Black College Wire, a premier source of
online information for Historically Black

BCW has provided HBCUs with rel
