The Exonian is the weekly student-run newspaper of Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] It has been printed continuously since April 6, 1878, making it the oldest continuously-published preparatory school newspaper in the country. It is published every Thursday by its student board and is subject to limited faculty censorship. Many parents and alumni hold subscriptions to the paper, which acts as a forum for the ideas of the Exeter community and prints extensive news, investigative, opinion, sports, and feature articles. In 2011, the newspaper became available to all students free of cost.
