Form And Line ReferencePt XII, Line 4bFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe Holly and John Madigan Fund (the "Madigan Fund") for The Daily Northwestern ("The Daily") was established in 2015 to support The Daily which is an independent, student-run daily news source, both on-line and in print. The Daily serves as a training ground for aspiring journalists who are students in NU's Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications, as well as students in other NU colleges interested in the media. The Daily serves the students, faculty, administrative staff and alumni of NU and the residents of Evanston, Illinois with its print copy up to 5 days each week and the general public on-line 24/7. The Daily is also available for research through the University Library Archives in digital form. The Madigan Fund was donated in conjunction with the original Campaign for the Future of The Daily Northwestern. Current fundraising efforts serve the ongoing goals of:(1) acquiring and utilizing innovative technology to assure that students producing The Daily are being educated at the cutting edge of media developments, including digital production and publication, (2) assuring that student editors and The Daily staff are paid modest stipends for their time-consuming efforts, (3) that the stipends allow students with financial need to be able to work at The Daily without necessarily having to work additional jobs to help with their finances and, (4) establishing a quasi-endowment fund producing annual income which will help offset the loss of advertising revenue which The Daily, like all newspapers, has experienced. Fundraising to support daily operations is a continuous project conducted by Students Publishing Company. The Campaign is being conducted by Students Publishing Company. In addition to the Madigan Fund, alumni donors (primarily former Daily staffers) contribute to a fund for The Daily Northwestern that is administered through the Dean's office of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications.ExplanationTxt
