COLUMN: New year brings new looks, focus to Central Michigan Life
Those of you who aren’t new to CMU you might notice a few changes to CM Life this year.
A new print product is the first in many changes I hope to bring to the paper this year.
Our news model is still one that promotes “online first” and I hope to increase that this year, with stories directly going online.
The best example I can give of this with our new staff is The seven stories we posted since Friday about the Faculty Association’s contract disputes with CMU serve as an example of our commitment to this direction. I’m sure within the following weeks we will post several more and our print product will serve to compile those efforts.
One of the first things I wanted to do as the Editor in Chief was provide a more updated print product, and I think our staff has worked to put that together well.
With that comes a different look at how we promote our content.
Our website, cm-life.com will be filled with a wider variety of news impactful to students and the community.
While our print product is one very focused item, our online product is as well and my promise as Editor in Chief is my staff and I will put all our energy into making sure we publish the news accurately and quickly.
My phone number is 989-774-4338 and if you have a comment, concern or problem I want to hear it.
My email address is editor@cm-life.com, I check it at least 50 times a day, if not more, so shoot me an email, give me some information, send a letter to the editor and just tell us about stuff you care about you think we should look at.
While our staff is always coming up with story ideas, nothing beats hearing one of our readers tell us they really think we should investigate something.
I want to hear from you, and, more importantly, I want your voice heard in this paper.
