Nobel Peace Prize-winning journalist Maria Ressa discusses democracy and disinformation

Isa Sheikh and Liam Kelly | Wednesday, March 22, 2023

“Disinformatsia is like cocaine,” Maria Ressa said in this year’s Asia Leadership Forum, citing the former KGB chairman Yuri Andropov. “You take it once or twice, you’re okay. But if you take it all the time, you become a changed person. All of us on social media have become changed people because lies spread faster

An open letter on academic freedom

Letter to the Editor | Monday, March 6, 2023

Universities across the country wrestle with what it means to maintain academic freedom and free speech under the weight of an increasingly polarized culture. Law schools have not been immune to the influences of cancel culture, with prestigious institutions making headlines such as “US Judge Won’t Hire Yale Law Clerks Citing ‘Cancel Culture’” and “Georgetown’s

The walk back from SDH

Maggie Eastland | Monday, March 6, 2023

“You work in the basement of South Dining Hall? That’s so far from P-Dub,” friends say — words languishing with pity.  I haven’t quite nailed my response yet, but consider this my rebuttal: The 10-minute walk back to Pasquerilla West Hall at 4 a.m. is one of my favorites in the world.

Journalist Elizabeth Bruenig discusses death penalty

Isa Sheikh | Monday, February 20, 2023

Elizabeth Bruenig couldn’t make it the first time her talk at Notre Dame was scheduled. Alabama death row inmate Kenneth Smith, who Bruenig had known for a number of months and referred to familiarly as “Kenny,” was scheduled to be executed the day before her lecture — and she was to be a witness. “I

A sophomoric farewell column to an unforgettable assignment

Liam Price | Wednesday, January 25, 2023

This column mentions issues relating to sexual violence. Last year, two of the most powerful inside columns I read were farewell letters from editor-in-chief Adri Perez and the iconic photography editor — who is an even better water pong partner — Allison Thornton.  It’s absolutely ridiculous, considering that I’m probably the most sophomoric sophomore on

Don’t forget how journalism’s heart beats

Liam Price | Monday, November 21, 2022

Apparently it was Janet Malcolm who said that every journalist “who is not too stupid or full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.”  Shoutout to Google for helping me out there, but I also want to shout out my newfound eidolon, Janet Malcolm. Her next

Yellow journalism, read all over

Elizabeth Prater | Tuesday, October 11, 2022

I made a pact with myself this year to read actively and more widely about the news. This may be surprising for someone who has both written and worked for The Observer since my freshman year at Notre Dame. However, I found myself barely being able to keep up with my seminar readings, rooted in

‘Mickey was our leader’: Notre Dame journalism program benefactor dies after battle with cancer

Bella Laufenberg | Wednesday, August 31, 2022

“There isn’t a single story. I can’t give you a single instance that I would say sums him up for me,” Notre Dame graduate Anne Thompson said. “When I think of Mickey Gallivan, that’s what I think – commitment.” Michael Dennis Gallivan, known to friends and family as Mickey, died Aug. 22, 2022, after a

15 reasons to keep newspapers around

Maggie Eastland | Monday, August 29, 2022

Nothing will put a damper on a bright-eyed college student like the journalism industry, but here’s the upside. I’ve compiled a list of 15 amazing uses for newspapers. Hint: The final reason is the most absurd of them all. 1. Dorm room fly swatter Nothing works better than a rolled-up newspaper. 2. Annoying roommate swatter

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
