About Dig

What is DIG? The tagline says it all, really: Baton Rouge, Uncovered. That�s our goal, every week: to root through the amazing amount of things to do, from entertainment events like concerts, theatre, and festivals, to social gatherings - from local groups that meet to achieve a specific goal, or local venues where the goal is just making it in the door, taking a load off, and enjoying yourself.

DIG will strive to plug the gaps other publications don't fill, to serve our readers, in as many ways as we can. Our writers are eager to present both the familiar and the foreign, week in and week out, 52 times a year.

We are the evolution of Tiger Weekly, which paved the road for an alternative magazine in the city. DIG will continue to serve the LSU community, but bolstered with a new commitment to deliver the best of the entire city in a voice our audience can relate to. Who are they? They are the nearly 120,000, 18-34 year olds who are shaping the future of Baton Rouge and who also happen to be the most active and engaged consumers.

There will also be much that is new, with many surprises throughout our pages: a spike in the quality of our writing, an increase in the diversity of our coverage, a new passion for investigative journalism, and a profound respect for the city and all of the people who want to make it a more attractive place, a better place to live and work and play... a place to stay.
