Arkansas News Email Moves to Reduced Summer Schedule on Monday

The Arkansas News email will begin its reduced summer distribution schedule on Monday, May 12. 

As the number of article submissions decreases during the summer, the news email distribution will be reduced, too. Initially, students, faculty, staff and other subscribers will find the news email in their inboxes on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule with fewer days per week as warranted. 

News articles continue to be published daily online at  news.uark.edu, where readership is significantly higher than via the news email. Information about events should be submitted at calendars.uark.edu. Stories should be submitted as early as possible for consideration in the Arkansas News email, but not later than noon the day before the next scheduled publication.
