The Parthenon is the independent student newspaper of Marshall University based in Huntington, West Virginia. The paper began publication in 1898. It currently is published in print on Tuesdays with content added daily online. It is distributed for "free" (it is funded by a fee added to tuition and by ad revenue) on the Huntington and South Charleston campuses. The Parthenon is also published online. Student reporters change every semester and are instructed by the faculty adviser in a beat reporting class within the school of journalism. Editors, staff reporters and other staff change annually or every semester.

The Parthenon is advised by a professor in the journalism and mass communications department at the university, however all editorial decisions are made solely by the editorial staff.

The newspaper generally covers campus news and news from the local area, sometimes mentioning state or national events.
