Weekly Special Section

This was a weekly special section that I started, designed, and sold while at the Daily Nebraskan. It was first published on August 16 in our Welcome Back issue and immediately became a big hit. Throughout both semesters, I remained in charge of this section and continued to sell the majority of its ad space.

Husker Nightlife runs every Thursday as a broadsheet. It would even run onto an extra page if there were too many ads to fit on the broadsheet. This was a section exclusive to bars and restaurants that were open late. Occasionally, we would also have an article promoting a local band or a picture of some students enjoying themselves downtown.

The Daily Nebraskan made a huge profit off Husker Nightlife, roughly $20,000 each semester. Even now it continues to grow by sponsoring nightlife events like the DJ Danceoff or the Season’s Fashion Show. It also has a new Facebook page which continues to grow in likes. I am excited to see where this brand goes after I’ve released the reigns.
