A lot happens within the Madison College community. The Clarion wants you to know about it quickly, so we’re launching an electronic newsletter.
According to Pew Research, more than eight in ten U.S. adults (86%) say they get news from a smartphone, computer or tablet “often” or “sometimes,” including 60% who say they do regularly.
News spreads faster through our mobile devices, whether we’re checking the weather or our messages. Readers turn to newsletters for a trustworthy source of news and information. So we’re going digital, with the Clarion eNewsletter going straight to students’ inbox weekly.
But it’s more than delivering your news electronically.
In the fall 2023 semester, 35% of Madison College courses were completely online, and 43% of the college’s enrollments this semester come from these online courses.
With such a large amount of students learning remotely, we want to build our ties with those who may only visit the campus occasionally.
Expect to be kept informed of breaking and school-related news. Our newsletter will highlight campus groups and events, offer entertainment reviews and put the spotlight on Madison College.
Our writers will share their take on local dining, movies, books and things to do around town. We introduce you to staff members, fellow students and provide sports updates. Links will take you from the electronic newsletter to our website, where you can learn more.
We will offer electronic content like videos, podcasts and photo slideshows.
The printed Clarion is not going away. We will continue to publish it monthly, where you will see more in-depth features and long-form articles.
We hope the Clarion eNewsletter will strengthen your bond with the Madison College Community, whether you learn remotely or in the classroom.
