Two years ago Friends of The Daily Texan, Inc., was formed during a particularly challenging period in The Texan’s financial history.
The outlook has improved: new Texas Student Media management, Moody College of Communication involvement, a bridge grant from UT to cover some costs, a new sense of urgency in bringing in revenue for The Texan.
All positive developments, but we should not assume the situation is resolved and the need for our support has ended. The “mission” in today’s newspaper industry is never over.
Challenges The Texan faces are no different than student media anywhere, and the overall newspaper industry.
Soon, the Friends will begin an active outreach to build our database of those interested in participating or simply staying in touch.
Do you want to be kept aware of the effort, or participate in any manner?
We’ll be seeking out candidates for committee work, and also to fill board vacancies.

1. Add me to your database but I am NOT volunteering for committees/board duty.
2. Add me to your database, and I would like to know more about serving on committees or the on the board.
3. Add me to your database; I’m anxious to keep up to date on the alumni effort; unsure about ability to serve on a committee or the board.
