In his new role, Dillon will advise the Western Herald, Young Broadcasters of Tomorrow (YBOT), and WIDR-FM.
After the groups faced a loss of funding last June, a $5 per semester student fee was implemented that will provide a steady stream of funding for the groups as they reorganize and renovate in the face of an ever changing digital media landscape.
Dillon's career in media started right here on campus, at WIDR. To read more about how Dillon got involved in radio (hint: it was an accident) and how he plans to reinvigorate student media on campus, read the full story at MLive/ Kalamazoo Gazette:
