West Long Branch, NJ—The Verge, Monmouth University’s first student-run online news portal, will launch their website on Wednesday, February 29 at 2:30 pm in room 206 in the Jules Plangere Center.
The event is open to all University students and faculty. Light refreshments will be served.
“I am very excited about the launch of The Verge,” said Dr. Chad Dell, Communication Department Chair. “This represents a brand new opportunity for students to work in a multimedia environment and to get their work viewed by the world.”
The Verge student news portal was created for the purpose of providing the Monmouth University community with information and issues in and around the university and to act as a forum for expression of the ideas of its audience. It allows students that are interested in journalism, communication and other multimedia to gain experience while also exploring the alternative platforms that are used in the creation and dissemination of the news today.
