The Daily Princetonian, originally known as The Princetonian and nicknamed the 'Prince', is the independent daily student newspaper of Princeton University. The newspaper is owned by The Daily Princetonian Publishing Co. and boasts a circulation of 2,000 in print and around 30,000 daily online hits as of 2021. Managed by approximately 200 undergraduate students, the newspaper covers a range of sections, including news, sports, and opinions.
Throughout its history, The Daily Princetonian has evolved in frequency, editorial focus, and format. In the 20th century, it covered significant events such as Woodrow Wilson's tenure at Princeton and presidency, World War II, and student activism in the 1960s. In the 21st century, the newspaper faced controversy in 2007 for a fictitious article, and its archives were digitized in 2012. Currently, it operates with a digital daily and weekly print publication format. The newspaper is financially independent, with an annual budget exceeding $70,000, and its editorial team is led by the editor-in-chief Eden Teshome as of December 2023.
Notable alumni include Woodrow Wilson, the 28th U.S. president, Supreme Court justices, U.S. ambassadors, and journalists at various media outlets. The paper has received accolades such as a Silver Crown at the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Awards in 2012 and a finalist position for the Associated College Press Online National Pacemaker Award in 2014.
