The Daily Iowan is an independent, 6,500-circulation student newspaper serving Iowa City and the University of Iowa community. During the 2020–2021 academic year The Daily Iowan transitioned from printing daily to producing a print edition of the paper twice a week and publishing stories online daily. It has consistently won a number of collegiate journalism awards, including six National Pacemaker Awards in 2000, 2001, 2006, 2008, 2013, and 2020.[1][2][3] The Daily Iowan was named Newspaper of the Year by the Iowa Newspaper Association four times, including in 2020 and 2021.[4]
The print edition is available free of charge on the University of Iowa campus and is available for home delivery by subscription. The publication is entirely student-run and independent from the University of Iowa.
The Daily Iowan’s competitors include The Gazette of Cedar Rapids, The Des Moines Register and the Iowa City Press-Citizen.[5]
George Gallup, creator of the Gallup poll, served as editor of The Daily Iowan in the early 1920s. Jason Brummond has been the newspaper's publisher since 2017, when the previous publisher, William Casey, retired. Casey had served in the post since 1976 and is credited with starting the newspaper's scholarship program for talented future journalists, who have since worked at news agencies such as The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, St. Petersburg Times, The Dallas Morning News, The Star Tribune, The Des Moines Register, ESPN, USA Today, SPIN Magazine and The Times-Picayune. The scholarship program began in 1987. Each year, up to four high school seniors are selected for the four-year scholarship.[6]
