Support The Hofstra Chronicle
The Hofstra Chronicle is Hofstra University’s student-run, independent campus newspaper, published eight times during each academic semester. Our mission is twofold: to inform and engage the campus community with timely and impactful stories, and to provide students of all majors with valuable hands-on experience in editorial, professional, and technical leadership.
This Day of Giving, your support will directly impact The Chronicle by helping us:
Support Alumni Networking Events. The Chronicle’s staff will be planning alumni events during the upcoming semesters and your financial support will help those planning efforts. This will also help us foster connections between past and present staff members.
Maintain our equipment. Uniquely, the Chronicle owns a variety of professional photography and multimedia equipment that has allowed exponential growth within the visual sector of the Chronicle. With the frequency that our equipment is utilized, the natural wear and tear means that this costly equipment requires frequent repairs to be maintained. We hope that in time, we can also expand our equipment base to meet demand while ensuring proper maintenance.
Maintain our website and app : www.thehofstrachronicle.com! The new site made necessary improvements that have increased our digital presence by more than 370% with a modern, accessible, and user-friendly platform. With the initial support of the website, we were able to use a portion of last year's donations to launch an app page for the Chronicle within College News Source. The upkeep of the site and app will ensure the Chronicle's future-facing momentum can be maintained.
Support The Chronicle’s merchandise efforts, which allow Hofstra Students, families and Alumni to show their support for the Chronicle. Your donation towards merch means that we do not have to increase cost margins to make a profit, allowing us to focus on staying updated on our merch for our supporters and contributors at an affordable price. A portion of last year's donations went to the first merch purchase in 4 years, featuring t-shirts and sweatshirts.
Provide professional development opportunities to prepare our staff for successful careers in media and beyond.
Your generosity ensures that The Hofstra Chronicle continues to thrive as a vital voice on campus while preparing the next generation of leaders in journalism and beyond. Thank you for supporting student journalism and helping us tell the stories that matter!
