History
The earliest known issue of the Reveille was published at Louisiana State University in 1887, but did not become a permanent part of campus until January 14, 1897, when it began weekly publication; in the 1920s it began publishing twice a week. By the 1930s it was publishing five days a week.
The publication became the Daily Reveille in 1938, only to be forced back to twice-a-week status during the
The Reveille boasts prestigious alumni, including E.J. Ourso, for whom LSU's College of Business is named, the political consultant Raymond Strother, political journalist and author John Maginnis, and Robert E. Pierre, a staff writer at The Washington Post. The Daily Reveille's history also includes stories that have had a great impact on LSU's campus, including a series of stories that resulted in the resignation of an LSU chancellor.
In 2003 the publication earned titles such as Best Newspaper on both state and regional levels. Its community-focused efforts earned the paper a 2003
In 2015, LSU Libraries began a $100,000 project to create digital scans of the entire archives of the Daily Reveille to make them more accessible and searchable. Instead of scanning from microfilm copies of the paper, LSU intends to scan each issue from print, creating new, higher-quality microfilm copies.[6]
Printing and distribution
The Daily Reveille is printed by Baton Rouge Press in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and was formerly printed by Signature Offset in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.[7] The paper is delivered to campus every Wednesday morning and is available at 86 locations on campus and in the surrounding area.
Stories, columns and other content from the Daily Reveille also appear at LSUReveille.com, the newspaper's website. Student journalists use the website to update readers on breaking news during holidays and semester breaks when the paper is not being printed, or to get important news to readers as it happens.
Reveille staff
The Daily Reveille, funded by advertising and student fees, employs more than 80 students each semester in jobs ranging from writing and editing to design and illustration. Each semester a board of professors, students, administrators and media professionals selects an editor-in-chief. The editor-in-chief selects a supporting management staff, who in turn hire writers, copy editors, designers, photographers and other staff members. Staff of the Reveille must be full-time students in good standing with the University; many of them major in mass communication.
