The Cornell Daily Sun

The Cornell Daily Sun, founded in 1880, is the oldest independent college daily newspaper in the United States. Operated by Cornell University students, it maintains editorial and financial independence from the university. The Sun publishes a weekly print edition during the academic year and offers daily digital content, catering to Cornell students, faculty, alumni, and the Ithaca community. The Sun provides a free weekly print newspaper and a digital platform featuring daily articles, newsletters, and multimedia content. It also maintains an archive of historical issues, particularly from 1933 to 1945, which highlights its role in documenting significant events. The newspaper operates from a renovated office in downtown Ithaca and relies on advertising, donations, and merchandise sales to support its mission. Its student-run structure allows for hands-on journalism experience, ensuring that editorial decisions are made by undergraduates.
