Extreme Makeover: The Current Edition

Extreme makeovers usually include implants and injections, tucks and tans. However, this extreme makeover only needed one procedure to create a beauty – a facelift.

The Current has undergone many changes since last year. The logo was redesigned, the paper’s layout changed and the Web site moved.

Our logo has a more modern, fresh and eye-catching design that will take The Current forward in 2010. Look for the new logo on our masthead.

We have also redesigned the look of the paper. Taking modern techniques and pairing them with a traditional approach has allowed The Current to update its look.

Our Web site has changed from www.nsucurrent.com to https://nsucurrent.nova.edu and has new features, which allows users to view The Current’s print edition in an interactive mode, write a Letter to the Editor, access our social networking sites and click through our photo gallery.

We’ve also added new columns. “Diary of…”  is a column that takes you into the day-to-day life of an NSU student. Each week the column will feature a story written by a different  NSU student who has a unique, interestin, or entertaining story to share.

News briefs will feature short stories of on-campus events and happenings.

The sports section has added a new feature that will be revealed in upcoming issues. The section will highlight team and intramural sports on campus. Regular articles on intramural sporting events including game highlights, game scores, team standings and player features will be covered in this section.

And the biggest change of all involves you. The Current revamped its opinions section to encourage and increase feedback from readers. Editorials will be a new addition to this section of the paper, where the editorial staff will issue an opinion on a matter of significance to both the staff and our readers. This is the section of the paper where readers can have their voices and opinions featured by writing letters to the editor on any of the editorials, opinion articles, other articles in The Current, or any issue that is important to you. Letters to the editor may be submitted in several ways — by emailing lettertoeditor@nova.edu; by sending a message to our Facebook inbox or wall, keyword — The Current; or by dropping off a letter at the office in the Athletics and Student Affairs building, Room 105.

The Current is proud to unveil the results of its makeover.
