<p>Hi all-</p>

<p>Sorry for the blatant advertisement, but I am an employee of the Badger Herald (one of the two daily newspapers on the UW campus) and wanted to let you all know we will be hosting two informational meetings this fall for students interested in getting involved:</p>

<p>Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 5 p.m.
Wednesday, Sept. 9 at 5 p.m.</p>

<p>Both will be held at the Herald Office, 326 W. Gorham St. (above Silver Mine Subs and Mad Hatter) and we encourage all those interested in writing news, opinion, arts and sports, as well as those interested in photography/video and online content to attend.</p>

<p>If anyone has any questions about the Herald (or even the Daily Cardinal), feel free to post them here or PM me. The Herald is an amazing organization, and I invite anyone interested to come check us out!</p>

<p>The BH is the better student paper at UW. Congrats on growing it to the now dominant position from a small upstart back when I was at UW.</p>

<p>Kudos to the Herald. Couldn’t agree with Barrons more. </p>

<p>Although the web redesign from this past year is still awful and should be redone.</p>

<p>Some still remember the BH as a reactionary right wing rag. Is the estate of Wm F Buckley demanding it’s $ back? The last few years the BH has even seemed more liberal than the DC-how things change.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info, will try to attend the meetings.</p>

<p>I remember the old BH well. One of the early columns was called “Through Rose Colored Bombsights” . This was while we were still in Vietnam.</p>

<p>Barrons-it’s crazy to think the things these newspapers have seen! And this coming school year is actually our 40th anniversary as a paper-that’s pretty old for the “new” newspaper on the block!</p>

<p>For anyone interested in a reminder when the dates of the meetings come up, here is a facebook group:</p>

<p>I’m sure they will send out a message when the dates arrive.</p>

<p>I’m glad there is some Herald love in the forums. There is an amazing amount of work that goes into each and every daily issue.</p>

<p>Very exciting to attend the only University in the US that has 2 daily newspapers! </p>

<p>I still have a Down and Out Dawg T-Shirt.</p>

<p>what’s down and out dawg?</p>

<p>Down and out Dog was a comic strip by James Sturm in the DC that was raunchy and hilarious. Late 1980’s. Sturm teamed up with Tim Keck of The Onion fame and started the Stranger weekly in Seattle.</p>
