From the desk of the editor: Herald gears up for a new semester with new faces, website

Welcome back to the pages of The Badger Herald.

Between recalls, budget cuts and the fight for a new Associated Students of Madison constitution, it is shaping up to be a heavy semester for the Madison media. To continue to provide University of Wisconsin students with the best possible coverage, we are making a number of changes:

Expanded editorial staff

 At the very heart of the Herald’s news department, there is a set of editors that run the campus, city, state and higher education desks. They are called associates, and they perform one of most important- not to mention most stressful-jobs at the paper by managing reporters, editing news content and doing original reporting.

This semester, the Herald moved from four associates to six. The higher education desk will be absorbed into campus, leaving three desks that each have two beats. This will allow us to devote more resources to coverage each day and make for greater nuance in our reporting.

A new website

 After many months of planning, a new Herald website is nearing completion. It is clean, beautiful and compatible with the newest storytelling platforms the web has to offer. With the ability to integrate new kinds of content, our site will be the dynamic companion to the print edition it was always meant to be.

As always, Herald readers are encouraged to submit their feedback, whether they have a concern about a component of the website or reaction to a story. We are also looking for new writers in the sports, arts, news and opinion departments, plus bloggers, podcasters, videographers and photographers. If you have a skill or want to develop one, we are interested in finding a place for you. Email me at [email protected] for more details.

Have a wonderful semester, Badgers. We will be here, online and in print, five days a week.
