Welcome to the new and hopefully improved version of the DTH blogs. Our Online Editor Nicole Norfleet redesigned this portion of the site to make it more visually appealing and, if all goes well, more relevant to you. In the past, this site was updated sparsely, if at all. We want this site to provide you with another venue to speak out and engage in our community.
So what can you expect from our blogs? As in the past, full versions of letters to the editor (and ones that didn’t make it into the paper) will be posted. The main difference you’ll notice is that we’ll have more content. We’ve hired bloggers who will be updating daily on topics such as the campus, town, state and nation. We’ll also be adding to that content as the semester moves along. For example, we’ll have study abroad bloggers writing on a weekly basis about their adventures. These blogs will supplement the print product and give you tidbits that maybe didn’t merit a full story in the paper.
This particular blog will focus on the inner workings of the DTH. I’ll be blogging about what it takes to put the stories and visual packages together that make it to the paper and online. I’ll also address any particular coverage that merits special mention or attention. The last topic this blog will address is general media trends that readers might find interesting. I hope this makes the DTH decision-making process more transparent.
I welcome your feedback and look forward to this experience with you. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to let me know. I will do my best to address all of you.
Thank you for blogging with us!
