#JMU men's basketball fell to a Duke performance that was impressive even by the monumental standards of Duke. It was a bittersweet end to a storybook season for JMU. Read more on the loss here: breezejmu.org/sports/jmu-men…

Student journalists are journalists. TheBreezeJMU and Breeze TV journalists covering JMU Men's Basketball's NCAA March madness appearance showed that with the number and variety of stories they found in Brooklyn. Take a look: breezejmu.org/sports/basketb…

Today’s (officially) my last day as TheBreezeJMU editor-in-chief. Starting tomorrow, the paper’s in the hands of Eleanor Shaw, who is more than ready for the job as just a sophomore. She’ll break some crazy stories, so she’s a great follow (if she starts using this app more!)

Honored that Society of Professional Journalists awarded TheBreezeJMU as the best all-around student paper in 2023 among large universities (10,000+ students) in VA, NC, MD, DC and Delaware! Would not have been possible without the work from Charlotte Matherly and her staff.

Alright I’m back on JMU’s Quad, where students are holding a Gaza solidarity occupation and teach in. They’ve moved into the shade and few more people have shown up. I counted a little under 30. Right now, people are making signs and having discussions with one another.

JMU once honored all requests to light Wilson Hall, the symbolic center of campus, which students used to recognize tragedies and support causes. Then came Oct. 7. JMU halted requests, and some Muslims on campus feel silenced. The path forward is unclear. breezejmu.org/news/jmu-s-pol…

This was a months-long effort from this team that began in our Multimedia Journalism course for JMU SMAD. Thankful for the guidance on this project from our professor, Dr. Nan Zheng, and the opportunity to work with great reporters and friends as we tried out data journalism!
