It’s the start of a new semester and this fall is bringing a lot of changes for everyone.

For freshmen it’s the beginning of your college career, an exciting new chapter in your life. For seniors it’s the beginning of a bittersweet last year, full of memories and friends.

Here at The Daily Campus we are also embarking on something new.

As some of you may know, for the last three years, SMU has been home to three different news organizations: The Daily Campus, The Daily Mustang and SMU-TV.

However, this fall the three entities have merged together to bring true convergence journalism to SMU.

Collaboration is key as we make this transition to a round-the-clock convergence newsroom. We see this convergence newsroom as an amazing opportunity to produce innovative, professional news that will be a model for successful university media in the future.

You will see a lot of increased multimedia content this year as we strive to incorporate videos and other mediums into each story. We are excited to bring you more than just words this year!

Be sure to regularly check our redesigned website, smudailycampus.com, for the most up-to-date information.

We also have a team of bloggers coordinating with The Daily Campus staff.

Politically Inclined is a must-read for all avid politicos; Hilltop Politics is the place to be for all things Student Senate; SMU Style is continuing to make sure the Mustangs look good.

Two new blogs will make an appearance this year, a Health & Fitness blog and a new Food blog.

Smudailycampus.com is also the new home of The Daily Update, a television news show put together by SMU journalism students.

The Daily Campus news section will continue to bring you the best news from the around the Hilltop.

This year the section will also feature articles from “Beyond the Bubble,” a class blog that focuses on events and people in the greater Dallas area.

Our sports section will focus on all aspects of game coverage, the pre, during and post game.

Arts &Entertainment will shift some of it’s focus to the Meadows School of the Arts, along with a healthy dosage of movies, theater, music and food reviews.

The opinion page will continue to represent the views of the SMU student population and The Daily Campus highly encourages all students to use this section to voice their opinions and passions.

The new and improved Daily Campus is dedicated to providing our campus with the most up-to-date information, as well as providing some entertainment. We want to be your go-to source for all things SMU.
