Description
Dawgnet is a student-produced news Web site at Butler University. Dawgnet is an independent student organization that receives financial assistance from the Eugene S. Pulliam School of Journalism. The Web site is updated daily. While a majority of the updates occur during the fall and spring semesters, the site is to be updated when deemed necessary during academic breaks and during the summer terms.
Dawgnet first appeared in 1994 as a means to transmit original and Collegian content over the World Wide Web to users of the Mosaic browser. The full potential of instantaneous publishing was first realized after the tragedy of September 11, 2001. Dawgnet and the Collegian teamed up to deliver the latest news and reactions of Butler Students. Prior to this event, the Collegian distributed photocopied supplements of its print paper to report news such as the results of the 2000 presidential election.
The design of Dawgnet evolved, but was limited by how much content could be pasted into html files in a given week. Often, it took five staff members an entire evening to manually create an edition of about twenty stories. This lengthy process often excluded the participation of computer novices.
