Yale Daily News Online

By: Andrew Mangino (Editor-in-Chief)

Dear YaleDailyNews.com subscribers,

I’m pleased to announce the introduction this week of two interactive additions to YaleDailyNews.com. Even if each serves a “niche” interest, I hope one or the other sparks in you a related idea for how the Yale Daily News can continue to enhance its online presence.

For decades, Yale College Council elections have dominated Yale College life for at least one week each spring. But this year, the regular inundation of commentary and campaigning is set to amplify at least tenfold with the introduction of “Yale Decides 2008,” a live blog established to guide the student population through next week’s race with punditry, predictions, interviews, video and analysis.

Second, in attempt to promote a more transparent newsroom, we have launched “Inside 202 York,” a forum in which readers can prod editors — the News editors in this week’s case — with questions, however friendly or hostile, about recent coverage or general practices.

Thank you, as always, for your ideas and support.

Sincerely,
Andrew Mangino
Editor in Chief
