The new Brock News has officially arrived.<\/p>\n
After months of planning and programming, the bold new Brock News launched Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The site offers an improved experience for readers with a cleaner look, more defined news categories and the ability to embed rich multimedia content such as YouTube videos and interactive images.<\/p>\n
One of the highlights is the Seen & Heard<\/a> section, which allows readers to submit a photo and information about the goings on around campus. After being approved by the editors, posts will be published on The Brock News site.<\/p>\n \u201cIt allows us to get a lot more campus events into The Brock News that didn\u2019t necessarily fit into our other categories in the previous website design,\u201d said Kevin Cavanagh, Director, Communications and Public Affairs. \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to let people across campus be part of the content gathering.\u201d<\/p>\n The new website was designed to meet Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act web standards.<\/p>\n As part of the re-launch, The Brock News also has fresh branding with a new red and black logo and an updated font.<\/p>\n “The clean design, attractive visual components and logical content categories really take it to the next level as a news media platform,” Cavanagh said.<\/span><\/p>\n The Brock News is published by the Office of University Marketing and Communications and serves faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends of the University. Similar to a daily print publication, the site is updated daily with the latest news, feature stories and event coverage from across Brock University.<\/p>\n If you have an event or story you would like to see appear in The Brock News, contact campusnews@brocku.ca<\/a>\u00a0or phone 905-688-5550 x4420.<\/p>\n
