About/Contact
The Towerlight is a student-run news organization located at Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland. The Towerlight operates on campus and exclusively employs Towson students and alumni but is independent of the University.
We are published by the 501(c)3 non-profit Baltimore Student Media, and our publications include The Towerlight newspaper and the Towerlight Today daily email newsletter, as well as this website.
We rely entirely on advertising and charitable donations for our funding. For more information on donating to support independent student journalism, visit the “Please Donate” page on this site. For more information on advertising, visit the “Advertising” page.
The Towerlight Tip Line is an anonymous tip line that will allow anyone to submit information about sensitive or noteworthy issues concerning the Towson University campus. Tipsters are not required to provide their names and the form does not record emails to ensure anonymity. Submitting a tip does not guarantee coverage by The Towerlight.
