The Daily Northwestern is the student newspaper at Northwestern University which is published in print on Mondays and Thursdays and online daily during the academic year. Founded in 1881, and printed in Evanston, Illinois, it is staffed primarily by undergraduates, many of whom are students at Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism.

The Daily has won the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker Awards and awards from the Illinois College Press Association.[1][2][1]

It is owned by Students Publishing Company, which also publishes Syllabus, the university yearbook. Current circulation is in excess of 7,500.[citation needed] The Daily Northwestern is the only daily for both Northwestern and Evanston.[3]

The paper's offices are located on the third floor of Norris University Center on Northwestern's Evanston Campus.

In 2015, The Daily launched "The Campaign for the Future of The Daily Northwestern," a five-year fundraising campaign.[4]

Early history

The Daily descends from two earlier publications, the Tripod and Vidette, the older of which began publishing in 1871. In 1881, in what is considered The Daily's founding moment, the two papers merged to become The Northwestern, which would only gradually shed its literary-journal roots. Publication increased to five days a week by 1910. Independence from the university followed in 1923.[5]

Future Chicago Tribune reporter Genevieve Forbes Herrick (graduated 1916) was the first female editor-in-chief of The Daily Northwestern.[6]
