NYU Local is an independent news blog run by New York University (NYU) students. It is the companion publication for NYU along with the Washington Square News, and the undergraduate equivalent of Washington Square Review.

Founded in 2008 to cover discussion and NYU news, NYULocal.com receives, on average, 200,000 unique visitors each month. NYU Local publishes around 10 posts a day Monday through Friday. The blog is run by NYU undergraduates and is editorially independent from New York University. In 2008 NYU Local was profiled by PBS.[1]

Since 2008, alumni of the blog have gone on to work at various prestigious media and journalism companies such as NY1, CNN, The Atlantic, New York Magazine, BuzzFeed, ThinkProgress, MSNBC, Time, Newsweek, and The New York Times.[2]
