Spring Break
The Prospector has been serving UTEP’s community since 1914. Winning numerous awards, both editorial and advertising, The Prospector is read regularly by UTEP students, staff and faculty. The Prospector covers on-campus and off-campus news, entertainment events and sports. Being the “Assayer of Student Opinion” is important to us and we always strive to have the best newspaper possible. Due to an increase in student enrollment as well the newspaper’s popularity, The Prospector will now publish twice a week during the fall and spring semesters. Tuesday’s edition will have a deeper focus on news, whereas our Thursday’s edition will focus on entertainment and sporting events. Nevertheless, both editions will have the same quality and will cover news, entertainment and sports.
The Prospector values your business and we are dedicated to ensuring your satisfaction. We thank you for considering advertising with us and appreciate the trust you place in us. We are confident that your business will benefit. UTEP has a broad and diverse audience just waiting for your business. Whether it is a student, faculty member, or staff person reading your advertisement in The Prospector, you will be sure to reach a substantial cross section of the El Paso/Juárez/Las Cruces region. Ever improving and increasing its appeal through technology and training, The Prospector is a strong contender in the media arena.
Even though our advertising and editorial staff work together to produce our student newspaper, we are two separate departments. The Prospector will not exchange ad space in return for editorial content. We will always keep these separate in order to serve our purpose as being the voice of the UTEP community.
