The Daily Illini, commonly known as the DI, is a student-run newspaper that has been published for the community of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign since 1871. Weekday circulation during fall and spring semesters is 7,000; copies are distributed free at more than 100 locations throughout Champaign–Urbana.
The paper is published by Illini Media Company (IMC), a not-for-profit corporation which owns several other student-run media outlets,[1] and also operates WPGU 107.1 FM,[2] a student-run commercial radio station. While the IMC has no official ties to the university, university professors and others in the academic community serve on its board of directors. The newspaper’s staff has both full-time professionals and students.
The paper is published daily online and once a month in print as a tabloid.
