The Bucknellian is Bucknell’s weekly student newspaper, published 12 times per semester on Fridays. Originally called The Orange and Blue, The Bucknellian was started in 1896, making it one of the oldest student activities on campus. Today the paper has a circulation of 4,500, runs two sections each with color on the front and back, and appears in web version. It serves a readership that includes students, faculty, administrators, trustees, parents, alumni and local residents. Students run the editorial and business sides of The Bucknellian; they make all decisions about policy, editorial content, advertising and marketing, and manage their own budget. Students design and lay out the paper at The Bucknellian offices in the basement of Roberts Hall. The paper is printed in Sunbury, PA at the printing press of The Daily Item.
Social Media
To whom it may concern,
I am a sophomore in college that recently got involved in a project I wanted to let you know about. A friend and I started a website called The Love Quilt (www.TheLoveQuilt.com). Its sole purpose is to spread love and help people tell others that they care. Users create online quilt patches with personalized messages and their favorite pictures with whomever they are writing about. Love Quilt staff then contacts the people honored in the patches, so that they can go on and see their message, along with all others. The site is going to be an online oasis of positivity and love for everyone to experience.
I am contacting you because the site is growing; in fact, we’ve gotten over 490,000 hits in just a few months, and have gotten articles published in school papers by institutions like Clemson University and Ohio State University. With that said, we want to get even bigger, so I was wondering if maybe you would be interested in giving us some extra exposure with an article in your newspaper. I could even write something up for you, if need be. I would love to spread the word about our expanding site to your students. Please let me know what you think. Go Pirates!
