If you’re someone who stays in the loop with campus news, listen up: some exciting changes are coming to Ball State’s student media starting this fall!
Beginning TODAY, Ball State Daily will officially transition to Cardinal Media – a name that better reflects who we are, what we cover, and who we’re here for.
So, why the change? The name Ball State Daily has often been confused with The Ball State Daily News (we get it). This rebrand is all about making things clearer! By becoming Cardinal Media, we’re sharpening our focus on delivering the most relevant and engaging stories for the Ball State community.
Here’s how the new setup will work:
- The Ball State Daily News, Newslink Indiana, Byte, and Ball Bearings will keep producing content – news, features, opinion pieces, etc. – just as they always have.
- Their work will be featured on CardinalMediaBSU.com, a redesigned website with a sharper focus on Ball State.
- The Agency at Cardinal Media will promote content across the website and social media platforms, helping stories reach more students.
The rebrand brings a more strategic approach to how stories are shared. Expect content that’s even more relevant to life at Ball State! CardinalMediaBSU.com will serve as a central hub for Ball State news and resources, making it easier to find everything in one place. It will also link out to other university outlets like the Communications Center and Ball State Public Media, giving you a one-stop shop for news.
So, what does this mean for you? More clarity and better access to news. As we head into this new chapter, we’re excited to keep growing and evolving with the Ball State community.
