As most major newspapers are making the transition from print to online versions, so is CUC's Columbia Journal.

"As interim editor, I wanted to give students an online version that was cost-effective for the Student Association and for the CJ, while giving alumni, parents and other interested parties a way of viewing the CJ even if they aren't on campus," said Jaclyn Wile.

The Columbia Journal is housed in an old, previously used web format, but the CJ staff--including SA Webmaster Jonathan Mccottry--will be updating the look-and-feel within the next few months.

"We want to focus on producing quality content first and foremost," said Mitch Tropin, new Professor of Journalism at CUC and CJ sponsor. "We won't put the CJ back into print until we are confident with our layout design and article content. But, we want to emphasize, the CJ will be back in print as soon as possible."

The new online format will allow quick updates, instead of the usual two to three week turnaround of articles, and will allow for the showcasing of a large number of photos and other multimedia, something that a print version could not accommodate.
