The Daily Princetonian is the award-winning daily independent student newspaper of Princeton University. Founded in 1876 and daily since 1892, the Princetonian is among the oldest college newspapers in the country. Its alumni have pursued careers in journalism at The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and have won the Pulitzer Prize.
In addition to the print and online editions, the Princetonian publishes The Prox, a news blog, Intersections, an arts and entertainment blog and hosts The Daily Princetonian Photo Store.
The Daily Princetonian, nicknamed the 'Prince', was the second college newspaper in America to publish daily. The paper, founded in 1876 as a biweekly publication named The Princetonian, became The Daily Princetonian in 1892 when it became a daily newspaper.
Produced by a staff of nearly 200 undergraduate students, the organization has an annual budget of more than $600,000. The Prince has a daily print circulation of 2,000 and its website receives roughly 5,000 hits every day.
The Prince is fully independent from Princeton University. It is directed by a graduate board of trustees, consisting of former editors and business staffers. The paper supports itself financially and does not receive financial support from the university or from alumni donations. The paper currently has an endowment of 1.3 million dollars. No staff member on the 'Princetonian' is paid.
The Daily Princetonian's offices are housed at 48 University Place, Princeton, N.J., on the western edge of the university's main campus, between Lockhart Hall and Foulke Hall, just down University Place from the U-Store, the university convenience store. The paper's editorial staff consists entirely of Princeton students. Daily operations at the Prince are run by the Editor-in-Chief, who directs the editorial side of the paper, and the Business Manager, who directs the business and financial side. The Business Manager and the Editor-in-Chief report independently to the newspaper's board of trustees, in order to prevent business and editorial matters from mixing.
