The Arbiter is Boise State’s editorially independent student newspaper. As a student-run organization, our mission is to provide accurate, relevant and trustworthy information to the Boise State community. Our vision is to be the recognizable, distinguished resource that best represents the complete scope of campus and Boise life.

The Arbiter is composed of two sections: paid editorial staff members and “staff writers” that are enrolled in the Boise State Media Activities (Media 119/319) class. We also take guest author submissions from students and community members.

The Arbiter editorial staff consists of student editors, reporters, graphic designers and digital content producers who are solely responsible for writing articles, creating digital media, assembling The Arbiter’s physical print newspapers and managing all other daily operations.
