The scene blog launched on November 1, 2009. Its initial concept: increase the web presence of the weekly Yale Daily News Arts&Living pullout. While there was content on the Beta blog, we lacked a creative vision beyond sporadic time wasters, occasional live blogs and multimedia features. What scene needed was not a random assortment of material meant to increase the profile of the print product, but rather a collection of microblogs meant to increase the profiles of our wonderful team of writers.
With that in mind, we are excited to introduce to you a set schedule of wonderfully imagined blogs centering on everything from fashion analysis to bathroom reviews and movie preview reviews. We’ll still sprinkle in timely arts and entertainment updates, and may add to our initial schedule, but the days of random unexplained YouTube links are done. Or at least relocated to our Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/ydnscene).
