The Ashland University student newspaper, in working with
web host TownNews.com, redesigned ashlandcollegian.com. The site launched late
Wednesday morning.
The Collegian ended its print edition in December 2015. Adviser
Matt Tullis — a former editor-in-chief of the newspaper and now an associate
professor of journalism at AU — said the new website was a logical extension of
the evolution of the paper.
“When we ended the print edition, we knew we had to spend
more time on making the website more appealing,” Tullis said. “The new site is
much easier to navigate and looks far less cluttered. We think readers will
appreciate the redesign.”
Part of the new site’s appeal, Tullis said, is its visual
nature.
“Photos are presented in a much more aesthetic way,” he
said, “which means the great work of our student photographers will get the
showcase it deserves.”
Stories are also much easier to read, with larger text size
and a less-jumbled design.
