Since the events of Aug. 11 and 12, The Cavalier Daily’s news reporting has garnered a new tone and importance on Grounds and in the Charlottesville community. With the torch-lit march and rally making national news headlines, our local newspaper’s role became one of on-the-ground documentation, providing a meaningful perspective that helped contextualized the events for readers. Where this paper had formerly been important only to the Charlottesville and University communities, it is now on the radar of a wide national audience.

For two years, The Cavalier Daily has housed written advertisements on their digital platform. Under the section’s former name, Brand Link, written articles would serve to promote a product or service to readers. These articles were not written by members of The Cavalier Daily staff — the company or organization seeking to have their product advertised would provide the article text in full. Rates for these types of articles range from $300 to $800 per article depending on how long the article will be visible on the website. The new Cavalier Daily website boasts a similar section under a new name — Sponsored Content.

Before The Cavalier Daily launched their new website last month, the paper’s digital platform left much to be desired. The section marked “Multimedia” was particularly aggravating and confusing. While the section’s landing page presented photographs and video content, the term “multimedia” was strangely vague and outdated. Galleries referring to a specific event or story were often disconnected from the articles which should have accompanied them. For example, a gallery of photos taken at a concert weren’t linked or noted alongside an Arts and Entertainment review of the same concert.

Each literary section of The Cavalier Daily differs in its purpose, tone and writing style. News articles sound formal, while Arts & Entertainment reviews flow more freely. Humor pieces can be liberal with flowery language, but Health & Science works must deal in a certain amount of simple explanation and scientific terminology. The writers and editors in each section hone their craft, presenting articles every day that are both stylistically and topically appealing.

Fall Out Boy’s debut effort, “Take This To Your Grave,” erupted onto the pop-punk scene in 2003. The band toured haphazardly under the label Fueled by Ramen, eventually becoming an emo staple in the hearts of angsty, music-loving teens across the nation. 2005’s “From Under the Cork Tree” solidified the group’s fame, appealing to wider audiences with hallowed singles “Dance, Dance” and “Sugar, We’re Goin Down.”

Panic! at the Disco’s latest album, “Death of a Bachelor,” harkens back to the edgy pop sounds Brendon Urie and co. built their career on in 2005 with their iconic “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out.” But this recent effort proves vastly more empowering than earlier work. While long-time fans may miss the band’s former angst, bits and pieces of it still shine through.

Twenty One Pilots’ latest work, “Blurryface” is nowhere near as fresh as their third album, “Vessel,” making “Blurryface” somewhat underwhelming in comparison. Several tracks succeed, however, and the album’s thematic cohesiveness serves it well.
