The Dartmouth (informally known as The D) is America's oldest college newspaper, published independently at Dartmouth College (although its offices are located on campus). According to its web site [1], the paper began publication in 1799, although the Hanover newspapers existing then are unconnected to a monthly literary magazine that students established around 1843, which is the publication that evolved into the current paper. For that reason, The Dartmouth currently (2006) states that it is in its 163rd volume.
The Dartmouth is published daily, Monday through Friday while classes are in session between September and June. The paper is also printed twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays) during Dartmouth's summer term. Special editions are also printed for such events as Homecoming weekend, Winter Carnival, Green Key Weekend, and Commencement, and a special freshman issue is sent to all incoming students. The Dartmouth once required paid subscriptions, but has been provided to Dartmouth students free of charge since 2001.
During the New Hampshire primary, The Dartmouth is known for its interviews with the presidential candidates.
Famous alumni of The Dartmouth include Susan Dentzer, New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg, Paul Gigot, Mort Kondracke, ABC News journalist Jake Tapper, and Hollywood screenwriter-director Kamran Pasha.
