Newspapers across the country and the world are seeing change every day. Reporters and editors are going to work, not knowing if they will have a job when they leave that night. The changes taking place at papers across the country are revolutionary and mean the way news is delivered is changing.

Michigan is no exception. The Detroit News and Free Press made revolutionary changes that emphasized more digital delivery of news. The Ann Arbor News is closing altogether in July and being replaced by annarbor.com, a Web site that will put an emphasis on multimedia reporting. With the dawn of Twitter-a site that has taken the mass media by storm-the demand for faster news is increasing.

Central Michigan Life is no exception to the changes. We are doing whatever we can to change and prepare for the future after we all leave CMU. That’s why CM Life will see some changes this summer and fall in the way we deliver news to you, our readers.

The one biggest change will be our emphasis on publishing constantly online on our Web site, cm-life.com. The Web site has been a place for breaking news usually, but will now begin to cycle more content than ever.

With only publishing on Wednesdays, it can be difficult to put everything going on in the print edition. But with cm-life.com, we can publish more stories, and even provide another layer of coverage with our multimedia efforts, including photo slideshows and videos, something we are striving to bring to you. Be sure to check the Web site often, as content will be cycled and added throughout the week on the front page.

With these changes beginning this summer and going full force in the fall, we are trying to make CM Life and cm-life.com the best place for your local and university news. And to top it off, cm-life.com is planning to be completely redone in the fall, in order to make it more user-friendly.

In the end, we are striving to bring the news to the Central Michigan University and Mount Pleasant communities in the best way possible. If there is any way that you feel we can improve in delivering our news, feel free to e-mail editor@cm-life.com.
