Since Rattler Nation first opened for business back in 2006, several more sites have joined FAMU’s blogosphere:
Capital Outlook
The Tallahassee community’s black-owned weekly is putting the finishing touches on its remodeled website. The new CapitalOutlook.com features blogs by Roosevelt Wilson, Vaugh Wilson, Stephanie Lambert, and Joe Bullard.
The Lens
This video blog serves as a window into life on FAMU's campus as captured by a student's camera.
Rattler News
Published by the Tallahassee Democrat, this site links viewers to the newspaper’s online coverage of FAMU sports.
Rattler Wire
As the official blog of FAMU’s Office of Public Relations, Rattler Wire provides photos and full-text from the university’s press releases.
CESTA News Buffet
FAMU's College of Engineering, Science, Technology, and Agriculture serves up a delicious variety of academic updates, photos, and student/faculty profiles.
These blogs provide important forums for news, analysis, and debate on FAMU. We applaud the efforts and encourage all these bloggers to adopt “no trolling” policies. Too often, FAMU stories attract racist, vulgar, and outright mean-spirited posts. There’s a fine line between constructive criticism, which helps improve the university, and anti-FAMU spamming, which simply breeds resentment and mistrust.
Rattler Roundup is also out there. I too appreciate these sites and look forward to contributing and improving the actions toward our institution and community.
