The Cavalier Daily

The Cavalier Daily is the independent student newspaper for the University of Virginia (UVA) community. Founded in 1890, it is Virginia's oldest collegiate daily and operates as a non-profit, student-run organization. With over 500 student volunteers, it maintains full financial and editorial independence. The paper transitioned to its current name and daily format by 1996, and now publishes weekly print editions on Thursdays, alongside daily online content. The Cavalier Daily distributes 7,500–8,000 print copies across more than 85 locations on campus and in Charlottesville. Its digital presence reaches over 50,000 people weekly through social media and garners 45,000+ page views. The newspaper also offers an e-newsletter and provides access to over 7,500 digitized pages of historical issues. The organization is managed by a student Managing Board, and its content reflects the views of its contributors, independent of UVA's influence.
