Picking our pictures

When you pick up the print edition of The Cavalier Daily, one of the first things you see is what we call the "Weather Pic" — a photograph on the front page that's not directly related to any of the News stories.
In the past, you might have seen anything from a squirrel eating a Crunch bar to a cute trick-or-treater on the Lawn in this space. In general, we use the Weather Pic to liven up the News page with an artistic, active shot of life around Grounds. Some days the photo depicts standard occurrences on Grounds in an artistic way, while on other days, it may highlight a student performance or event that we are not able to cover in the form of a story.
If you have an idea of an event that could lead to an interesting photograph, be sure to let our News department know as soon as possible (and obviously in advance of the event) — we'll certainly consider all suggestions. And if we hear about two events that would both make great photos, we'll do our best to include both — one on the front page and one on the second page of News content.
