Your home for bite-sized news...

In today's digital world, the news cycle does not end when an article goes to print.

Instead, it circulates the Web, picked up by search engines, linked by blogs; it is Twittered, Facebook-ed and maybe even Dugg. Readers and writers alike post their reactions or add their own nuggets of information and analysis, and soon the conversation evolves far beyond the author's original intent.

In the Daily's features section, we cover a broad range of topics, from the impact of national stories on a local level, profiles of interesting personalities, analysis and investigation of substantive campus issues -- and much more.

But many of the stories we cover continue long after they're published. National stories have new developments; people have new experiences; issues gain new complexities. In this space, we'll look to continue those conversations in ways our print edition cannot. Each week, our features writers will highlight tidbits of news relating to issues we've covered, hope to cover or perhaps don't deem large enough to cover in our print edition at all.

So check back for pithy, easy-to-read updates on a regular basis as we add this new element to the Tufts Daily's blogosphere.
