The Daily Bruin is the student newspaper at the University of California, Los Angeles. It began publishing in 1919, the year UCLA was founded, and has printed five days per week since 1925. It is now the only five-day paper serving a University of California campus.
The Bruin distributes 9,000 copies across campus each school day. It also publishes prime, a quarterly arts, culture and lifestyle magazine, and Bruinwalk.com, a professor and apartment review website. Roughly 500 students work at the paper during the school year.
When classes are in session, the Bruin is published Monday through Friday during the school year, twice a week during the last week of the quarter, once a week during finals week, and once a week on Mondays in the summer quarter. The Bruin's staff also publishes prime, a quarterly lifestyle magazine, and Bruinwalk.com, a professor and apartment review site.
It is published by the ASUCLA Communications Board, which sets policies for the newspaper and other campus communications media. The current editor in chief is Tanner Walters.
The Daily Bruin editorial team has 14 editorial departments: news writing, sports writing, arts & entertainment writing, opinion writing, radio and podcast journalism, infographic reporting, blogging, digital development, video journalism, copy editing, photojournalism, page design, prime magazine and cartoons and illustration.
The Daily Bruin office and newsroom is located on the first floor of Kerckhoff Hall, Room 118.
The Daily Bruin was preceded by the weekly Normal Outlook on the campus of UCLA's predecessor, the Los Angeles State Normal School, from 1910 through 1918 or 1919 (the records are incomplete).
Upon the establishment in fall 1919 of the Southern Branch of the University of California, as UCLA was first known, the twice-weekly Cub Californian was first issued on Sept. 29, 1919. Its name was changed to the California Grizzly with the issue of March 21, 1924, and on Sept. 13, 1925 it began to publish five days a week.
On October 22, 1926, the newspaper became known as the California Daily Bruin. During World War II it reduced its publication frequency to three times a week under the title California Bruin, reverting to a daily publication at war's end. On April 2, 1948, the name was changed to UCLA Daily Bruin.
