The Stanford Daily

The Stanford Daily is the student-run, independent daily newspaper serving Stanford University. The Daily is distributed throughout campus and the surrounding community of Palo Alto, California, United States. It has published since the University was founded in 1892.

The paper publishes weekdays during the academic year. Unlike many other campus publications, it enjoys a wide circulation of 8,000 and is distributed at 500 locations throughout the Stanford campus, including dormitory dining hall, and in the city of Palo Alto. In addition to the daily newspaper, the Daily publishes two weekly supplements: Intermission, a weekly pullout entertainment section, and Cardinal Today, a weekly sports "outsert" during football and basketball seasons. The Daily also published several special issues every year: The Orientation Issue, Big Game Issue, and The Commencement Issue. In the fall of 2008, the paper's offices relocated from the Storke Publications Building to the newly constructed Lorry I. Lokey Stanford Daily Building, near the recently renovated Old Student Union.
