The Daily Californian
Encyclopedia
The Daily Californian is an independent, student-run newspaper
that serves the University of California, Berkeley
campus and its surrounding community. It is published Monday through Friday (but not Wednesday, owing to dwindling ad revenues) during the academic year, and twice a week during the summer. Established in 1871, The Daily Californian is one of the oldest newspapers on the West Coast
, and one of the oldest college newspapers in the United States. Current circulation is about 10,000 for a campus of roughly 30,000.http://www.dailycal.org/advertising.php
. Both sides came to an agreement, and The Daily Californian gained financial and editorial independence
from the university and is now published by an independent corporation called the Independent Berkeley Students Publishing Company, Inc. The paper licenses its name from the Regents of the University of California
. UC Davis, originally being the University Farm for Berkeley also started their own newspaper, The California Aggie
.
In the fall of 1971, The Daily Californian moved to a second floor office on the corner of Telegraph Avenue
and Channing Way in Berkeley. The Daily Californian moved to two other offices, one on Shattuck Square and on Dwight Way. These moves, while necessary for the financial success of the newspaper, began to erode the student foundation that ran the newspaper. The newspaper currently resides in the 6th floor of Eshleman Hall on the UC Berkeley campus.
On November 24, 1982, three days after the November 20th Big Game
(now known for The Play
), early morning readers of the Daily Cal were chagrined to find in the headline of the front page: "NCAA Awards Big Game to Stanford."http://www.stanford.edu/group/axecomm/history/daily_cal_82.html Hundreds of copies of the Daily Cal with this fake headline had been strewn about campus in the wee hours. This was in fact a hoax perpetrated by aggrieved Stanford fans.
A newspaper run completely by students worked very well, but financial and management problems dampened the first decade of The Daily Californians independence. In the early 1980s, The Daily Californian was forced to take on loans, including one from UC Berkeley's student government, the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC).
In the early 1990s, hard times and a series of financial mismanagements forced the newspaper to only publish three days a week, which made national news. With the great support of then Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien, The Daily Californian secured a new office in the 6th floor of Eshleman Hall on the south side of campus. This office space had also housed the newspaper from 1963 to 1971. It was during the early 1990s that The Daily Californian also began to tap its growing group of proud and successful alumni. The Daily Californian Alumni Association was founded.
The Daily Californian has a history of publishing spirited editorials, and in some cases editions containing controversial editorials have been subjected to newspaper theft
. In 2002, Berkeley
Mayor Tom Bates
agreed to pay restitution after admitting to having thrown away a thousand copies of The Daily Californian after it endorsed his opponent, then-Mayor Shirley Dean
.http://www.dailycal.org/article.php?id=10530 In May 2003, nearly 5,000 papers were stolen by students protesting coverage of the arrest of a Cal football player. The largest act of theft took place in November 1996 when the paper's senior editorial board endorsed Proposition 209
. Nearly 23,000 papers were stolen on Election Day 1996, and in the following days copies of the paper were tossed off the balcony of the newspaper's office and burned in effigy.
On October 16, 2006, the Daily Cal launched its first blog, The Daily Clog. The Clog is a student-life blog that accumulates various tidbits about Berkeley and college life. It focuses on the UC campus, the city of Berkeley and Berkeley's online community. That year, the Daily Cal also recorded its first podcast and began text polling. Since then, The Daily Californian has added eight new blogs on topics ranging from Travel to an Editors' Blog.
On August 25, 2008, the Daily Cal announced that it would not print a paper version of the newspaper on Wednesdays amidst a decline in advertising revenues and higher newspaper costs. However, it will have an online version of the paper on Wednesdays.http://www.dailycal.org/article/102315/daily_cal_budget_woes_force_production_cutshttp://www.berkeleydailyplanet.com/issue/2008-08-28/article/30950?headline=Daily-Cal-in-Financial-Trouble
