But back on May 11, 1896, daily publication was a far-off dream for the eight newshounds who made up editorial board of the brand-new Storrs Agricultural College Lookout. Initially published in broadsheet format on a monthly basis, the Lookout became The Connecticut Campus in 1915 and increased its frequency of publication until becoming a daily in 1952. The paper\u2019s vast archives serve as an irreplaceable record of UConn history, and its continuing success in the Internet age shows that student journalism is just as valuable in 2024 as it was in 1896.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"98\" data-src=\"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/09\/grid-1024x98.png\" alt=\"decorative abstract grid pattern\" class=\"wp-image-218295 img-responsive lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/09\/grid-1024x98.png 1024w, https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/09\/grid-300x29.png 300w, https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/09\/grid-768x73.png 768w, https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/09\/grid-1536x147.png 1536w, https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/09\/grid-2048x196.png 2048w, https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/09\/grid-630x60.png 630w, https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/09\/grid-1300x124.png 1300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/98;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Initially published in broadsheet format on a monthly basis, the Storrs Agricultural College Lookout debuted on on May 11, 1896<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":221418,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_series":0,"wds_primary_attribution":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2235,2633,2225,2227],"tags":[],"magazine-issues":[],"coauthors":[1902],"class_list":["post-221415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-today-homepage","category-firsts","category-uconn-storrs","category-uconn-edu-homepage"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-14 19:26:49","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221415"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221415\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":221421,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221415\/revisions\/221421"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media\/221418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221415"},{"taxonomy":"magazine-issue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/magazine-issues?post=221415"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=221415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
