The Daily needs your opinion |

A broad response that results in an accurate survey will be invaluable to the Student Media staff. It will help us build stronger relationships with our advertisers, and it will inform our decisions about the future of The Oklahoma Daily and OUDaily.com.
Here's a link to the survey:
And, I shouldn't forget to note, there are FREE PRIZES. Anyone who completes the survey and enters an email address when prompted will be entered in a drawing for a number of free food prizes from Interurban, Papa John's Pizza, Earthfruits Yogurt and Crooked Crust.
