Welcome to the 2011-2012 Daily Bruin Sports section. My name is Eric, and this year I, along with my trusted staff and editors Mansi, Jacob and Chris, will be working to deliver to you the UCLA sports news you so desperately crave.
You probably already have some idea of what we do here, but this brief introduction will hopefully give you some insight into what we’ve been up to over the summer.
Our paper has slimmed down ““ it’s leaner and more efficient, and we’re excited about that. We’ve been using our time during the summer to plan out our goals for this year, which include increasing our online presence, making greater use of multimedia and graphics, and providing a wide variety of content. We want to increase coverage of club and intramural sports and will be working to find off-beat stories that are more than just stats and scores.
A big focus for us has been to engage our readers ““ whether it’s through an online poll or on Twitter, Facebook or our blog Bruin Sights. Online is the place to go for live game updates and breaking news, and we want to hear your feedback. We’re all students here, and we all have something to learn from each other.
So whether you’re power-walking to class or stumbling back to your dorm on Thursday nights, keep an eye out for the Daily Bruin, and don’t hesitate to pick up a copy. Oh, and make sure you read the back page first.
