The Daily Princetonian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Daily Princetonian is the daily student newspaper of Princeton University. It is published five days a week when classes are in session and three days a week during the University's Reading Period in January and May.
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. Currently in its 130th year, the 'Prince' has a staff of about 100 students, a readership of 8,000, and an annual budget of more than $400,000.[1]
Daily operations at the 'Prince' are directed by the Editor-in-Chief, Chanakya Sethi, and the Business Manager, Morgan Kennedy. The staff is grouped into several sections, including news, sports, editorials, photography, copy editing, layout, business, and web.
