The Yale Daily News is the nation’s oldest college daily newspaper and has been financially and editorially independent since its founding on January 28, 1878. It publishes Monday through Friday during the academic year and serves the communities of Yale and New Haven, Connecticut.
In addition to the daily newspaper, the News also publishes a Friday supplement known as WEEKEND, the Yale Daily News Magazine and several special issues each year. Those issues have historically included the Yale-Harvard Game Day Issue, the Commencement Issue and the First Year Issue. In the 2020-21 school year, the News published its inaugural special issues celebrating Indigenous, Black, AAPI and Latinx communities in collaboration with Yale’s cultural centers and affiliated student groups.
The News is the primary division of the Yale Daily News Publishing Co., which is headed by the News’ editor in chief & president. Its nearly 300-person staff works across print and digital media, including photography, illustrations, video, podcasts and data journalism. The News is divided into 20 desks, most led by one to three editors who typically have a year of experience in their respective area. Editors steer coverage and production efforts of their staff members and regularly work with contributors, including those in the process of joining the News’ staff.
