Beginning with the fall 2021 semester, The Vidette will no longer print editions of the newspaper. However, The Vidette is not going away.
The student-run newspaper at Illinois State University has been published in some printed form since 1888, but beginning in August, content created by student-journalists will be delivered exclusively through its digital platforms â website, social media channels, newsletter and mobile app.

âAny time you turn off a machine that has been running steadily for 132 years, itâs a disheartening. But itâs important to understand that we are not turning off The Vidette. The printed papers may cease to flow, but the news and the learning opportunities for students at Illinois State will continue and we believe may potentially grow.â
