The Daily Eastern News

The Daily Eastern News, is student-run news media organization that covers the campus and the community at Eastern with students, staff, faculty and local residents as its audience.

Students run the newspaper – planning, reporting, editing, photographing, designing and making all news choices. A faculty of experienced journalists advise and support these student-journalists in their efforts. If you are interested in participating, contact director Joe Gisondi at jjgisondi@eiu.edu .

You can also follow the Daily Eastern News on Facebook , Instagram [instagram.com/thedailyeasternnews] and Twitter [twitter.com/den_news].

 

The Warbler

The Warbler is the university yearbook. At Eastern, a yearbook has been continuously published since 1919. Each year every full-time student receives a yearbook. Working out of the newsroom of The Daily Eastern News, The Warbler also is created on a computer pagination system which provides digital files that can be sent directly to the printer. The all-color yearbook serves as an excellent place for students to put their new editorial, graphic design and photography skills to work.

Mr. Greg Bilbrey is the faculty advisor for The Warbler. Contact him at gbilbrey@eiu.edu, or in Buzzard 1831.
