The Eagle gets front page nod

Chadron State College’s student newspaper, The Eagle, which officially turns 100-years-old in September of this year, was featured on the front page of the February edition of Publishers’ Auxiliary, published by the National Newspaper Association. 

PubAux, as it’s commonly known, called The Eagle “Small but mighty,” in its article that centered around the student newspaper and its relationship with the Douglas Budget, a newspaper in Douglas, Wyoming, and the National Newspaper Association. 

Last fall, the Douglas Budget became The Eagle’s NNA sponsor, paying the student newspaper’s first year of collegiate membership dues and offering internships.

Douglas Budget Publisher Matt Adelman is president of the NNA. 

“It’s really an honor for our program to get national attention,” Brandon Davenport, editor of The Eagle, said. “We have a great staff of students who work extremely hard to ensure we’re putting together a quality newspaper each week. We’re grateful for the Budget’s sponsorship and Mr. Adelman’s desire to be associated with The Eagle.

“It’s important in our line of study to have the opportunity to build relationships with professionals in the industry.”
