The Daily Northwestern is a student newspaper at Northwestern University that is published on weekdays during the academic year. Established in 1881 and published in Evanston, Illinois, it is run entirely by undergraduates, many of whom are students at Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism.

The Daily is widely considered one of the best college newspapers in the country, a frequent winner of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the coveted Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker Award. Its staffers are almost solely responsible for Medill's ongoing run of 17 consecutive first or second place finishes in the collegiate William Randolph Hearst Foundation awards program, dating back to 1988. Its former staffers are leaders in the world of journalism; many have won awards such as the Pulitzer Prize.

Although it serves the Northwestern community, The Daily is unaffiliated with the university and is supported entirely by advertisers. It is owned by the Students Publishing Company. Current circulation is in excess of 7,500 as The Daily Northwestern is the only daily publication for both Northwestern University and the city of Evanston, Illinois.

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

Contents

The Daily is the descendant of two earlier publications, the Tripod and Vidette, the oldest of which began publishing in 1871 alongside or ahead of the earliest college newspapers in the United States. In 1881, in what is considered the newspaper's founding moment, the papers merged into The Northwestern and gradually began shedding their literary journal roots.

Publication was ramped up to a daily by the early 1910s. In 1919, the newspaper became independent of the university.
