JTAC News Returns to Weekly Print Schedule<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wednesday, March 30, 2016<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEPHENVILLE, Texas\u2014Tarleton State University\u2019s official student-run newspaper, JTAC News<\/em>, will hit newsstands on a weekly basis come this September. Part of the Division of Student Life, the award-winning publication made its debut in 1919.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to tackle this challenge and better serve our university community with a more frequent publication,\u201d said Hilaree Foreman, JTAC News<\/em> editor. \u201cThis will greatly improve our breadth of coverage and hopefully keep our students, faculty and staff better informed about what\u2019s happening at Tarleton.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JTAC News<\/em>, previously called The J-TAC<\/em>, was last published as a weekly issue in April 2011 when it attempted to become an online-only publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not clear why the decision was made to kill the print issue,\u201d said Caleb Chapman, director of Student Publications. \u201cOnce I came on board, we immediately began efforts to bring back the printed edition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year later in April 2012, JTAC News<\/em> began printing a monthly issue and currently prints on a bi-weekly basis during fall and spring semesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProducing a newspaper provides our students with a myriad of experiences that can be used in any career path,\u201d Chapman said. \u201cWe provide a completely student-driven environment that enhances their skills with writing, interpersonal communication, teamwork, meeting deadlines, problem solving, management and a lot more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a holistic experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JTAC News<\/em> will debut its first regular weekly print edition Sept. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think this is a great move for JTAC News<\/em>,\u201d Foreman said. \u201cThis new format will make the paper better and more relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
