Student Media
In the fall of 2009 The Northerner student newspaper expanded to an online interactive publication, reflecting a larger global trend in journalism and convergent media. By taking all student media online, The Northerner brand has been enlarged to offer more opportunities for students to showcase their talents in photography, audio, video and print. In addition, the new site offers an RSS feed and socially bookmarks every story students publish, allowing for a much broader audience. A digital paper version of The Northerner newspaper embedded on the site also allows people to page through a virtual copy of the latest issue with all of the color photography and layout in tact.
