Content
The Cord currently features the following sections in print: News (Campus, Local, and National), Sports, Arts, In Depth and Features (alternating), Opinion, classifieds, and letters to the editor. The paper's local content has expanded in recent years to cover regional news including elections and other events in the Waterloo community.
The Cord also publishes an online Life section with student lifestyle-related stories as well as horoscopes, advice columns, and the popular venting platform, "Dear Life."
In 2011, The Cord made the decision to remove its World section from print due to a lack of student reader interest. Instead, The Cord implemented the online World Blog, a compilation of multi-media pertaining to global news.

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“A person of mature years and ripe development, who is expecting nothing from literature but the corroboration and renewal of past ideas, may find satisfaction in a lucidity so complete as to occasion no imaginative excitement, but young and ambitious students are not content with it. They seek the excitement because they are capable of the growth that it accompanies.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“I could be content that we might procreate like trees, without conjunction, or that there were any way to perpetuate the world without this trivial and vulgar way of coition.”
—Thomas Browne (1605–1682)
