Stories written by UCMnews
DigitalBURG.com is the Warrensburg community news service of the Muleskinner, the student newspaper at the University of Central Missouri. In the past five years, we have published many thousands of local stories and photos. We have reported on important local issues, and have told you about happy moments in the lives of area citizens. We have been covering sports at five area high schools, plus the Mules and Jennies at Central. Our photographers have provided many fine color photos from games, meetings and events. We have offered the latest state, national and international news from the Associated Press. We have introduced video news to Warrensburg, and are adding more to our site. Most of our reporters and photographers are volunteers; some are enrolled in journalism classes. Matt Bird-Meyer is the adviser for The Muleskinner and Digitalburg. He lives in Warrensburg and has some 15 years experience in newspapers and online journalism. His e-mail address is bird-meyer@ucmo.edu or call (660) 238-5591. Digitalburg.com was begun by Warrensburg businessman and UCM graduate Ben Pierce, who employed mostly UCM journalism students. He closed it in the fall of 2005, and when asked if he would consider giving it to the Muleskinner, he did. We began publishing Sept. 24, 2006. We welcome contributions from our readers–story ideas, meeting announcements, news events, large and small. Tell us what your organization is doing–church, club, team, etc. Submit photos, too.
