Polls, forums, online-chat, syndicated content from schools across the US, QuickTime and Realtime movies, email newsletters and resources such as apartment listings will now be available from the newspaper.

The new online publication offers number of publishing advantages to the paper staff as the platform caters specifically to the campus newsroom and can synchronize with the workflow of any media organization. Newspaper staff can now collaborate from any web connection, submit stories, images or web media directly through a web interface anywhere on the globe.
