For the second year in a row, the Friends of The Daily Texan, Inc. will fund a key part of the digital infrastructure of the student newspaper at the University of Texas.
The board of directors of the Friends group recently voted to fully fund for a 12-month period the cost of infrastructure and web tools for the student newspaper’s website, thedailytexan.com.
The board of directors approval of the $3,500 grant follows a similar grant of $5,000 in 2021.
“We believe it is important to show our support for The Texan and its digital efforts by providing funding to support tools, product and infrastructure needs as Texan staffers continue to work to build an audience and improve the website,” a board statement said.
“A special thanks to our many donors who make this funding possible.”
