Daily News history is being made and the proof is in your hands.
This is the last Friday print edition of The Ball State Daily News you'll be reading for some time.
Suspending Friday publication is not a death sentence, and our Friday papers may be back someday. As the country struggles financially this is something that will tide us over until the economy bounces back.
Instead of sitting in a corner lamenting the glory days of print media, we're going to do something we should have done a long time ago: Use our Web site for what it was intended and be a true, daily news source.
More daily and weekend updates will be found at bsudailynews.com.
Following suit with newspapers across the country, we are trying to tell stories as effectively as possible and using as many media as possible.
The Web provides endless opportunities for storytelling and we will be using it better.
Along with using new media, the Web will be used for updates and interactive content ranging from informative, interactive projects to audio slideshows. All Daily News content can be accessed 24/7 in one easy location, bsudailynews.com.
Video content will continue to be posted to the site to accompany the highlight reels, sports newscasts and feature coverage we've been posting thus far.
Also on the horizon is a new, revamped Web site to adequately present the new content.
The DN is not the only collegiate newspaper that has eliminated a publication day. The University of Minnesota, University of California at Berkeley, Boston University and Syracuse University are just a few collegiate papers that have gone to four-day publication.
We, like they, will still work to serve you and push ourselves and evolve how we think of storytelling in an effort to continually engage you.
This also means the content that makes it into the print copy of the Daily News will be the in-depth news that truly matters to you, the news you will have plenty of access to throughout your day on campus.
For the first time in the 87-year history of the newspaper, we will be true to our name and be a seven-day news source.
We're excited about it and think you should be too.
We are your news source and without you we don't exist.
