We are student-run.
Our editorial process starts and ends with the students that run our publication, from pitch to paper.
Our editors
We are fiercely independent.
We are beholden to no obligations, even from the University, except the rigorous journalistic standards one should expect of a newspaper.
Our policies
We have a mission to serve this community, as we have been for more than a century — to tell stories, to fuel discussion, to hold power to account.
And to continue that mission, we need your help.
Hear from our alumni:
The Daily Trojan … is a close-knit community of students dedicated to telling the stories of the Trojan Family … In a professional career that I have navigated through a variety of organizations and industries, I have constantly drawn upon my Daily Trojan experience of researching, writing, editing, designing, meeting deadlines and collaborating with colleagues.
