The Newest Media

In an effort to expand coverage of issues, provide readers with up-to-the-minute updates and increase communication between community members and the paper, The Cavalier Daily is rolling out a variety of new media and Web 2.0 features:


Why follow us on Twitter? Because by doing so, you'll get updates about the top news and sports stories + blog updates + student group updates. You can even get text message or e-mail notifications. Moving forward, The Cavalier Daily wants to keep you informed about the most important events on Grounds -- even events we wouldn't normally write news stories about. So, if you have an event or story you want to see publicized on Twitter, e-mail meditor@cavalierdaily.com and put "Twitter" in the subject line. From service/social events hosted by Greek organizations to that jazz concert in Old Cabell Hall to breaking news, we'll tweet about what's on your mind.
