As you may have heard from our countless phone calls and email blasts, “varticles” – shorthand for voting articles – are all the rage in schools across our network. These varticles involve polls that readers can vote on; the most common example of this has been an “Athlete of the Month” poll.
Varticles like these offer the opportunity to showcase student-athletes from multiple teams and engage the community through fun competition. Perhaps unsurprisingly, page views and traffic numbers for schools that have taken this step have greatly increased! Send an email to support@varsitynewsnetwork.com to get started!

- Fall Student Athlete
