Print isn’t gone forever. It just feels a little different now.

Instead of picking up a paper copy of The Eagle each week, you’ll be able to flip through a digital version on your phone, iPad and computer.

With this digital, interactive edition, you can click links to see full stories online, watch trailers for upcoming movies and stay updated, even if you’re not on campus.

Over the past year, we transitioned to a “digital-first” newspaper to get news to you in a faster, more interactive way. In November, we rolled out our first email newsletter to keep you informed. And now,

we’re releasing a digital edition as a middle ground between print and digital.

As we experiment with publishing a digital edition each week, we ask that you provide feedback. Although we are nostalgic for a print edition, we are committed to serving our consumers’ needs and interests. We welcome you to submit any comments, criticisms and suggestions about the digital edition or The Eagle at editor@theeagleonline. com Enjoy!
