I spent a few hours at the Student Activities Fair yesterday talking to new students about Penn and The Daily Pennsylvanian. It was exciting to be back in the thick of things and to look forward to the new academic year.
This semester, in particular, we'll be seeing a lot of changes. The world of media is shifting rapidly - our generation is increasingly accustomed to consuming news online and from Blackberries and iPhones.
As a result, we're accelerating the growth of our Web site, dailypennsylvanian.com.
Our first step: We're posting articles earlier, at midnight (instead of at 5 a.m.), getting the news to you before you go to bed.
In addition, we'll be generating more video content with the help of our new Associate Video Editor, senior Alex Adkins.
But this is only the beginning - there's a lot more to come. If you'd like to get involved, come to our recruitment meetings at the DP next week on Sept. 9 and 10, at 6 p.m.
Have a great semester!
