The Brown Daily Herald, the student newspaper of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, is the fifth-oldest college daily newspaper in the United States. It publishes Monday through Friday during the academic year, with one issue during the summer and four magazines each year. It also publishes post-, a weekly arts and culture magazine. The name references the academic convention of using "post-" as a prefix -- such as in “post-modernism” and “post-structuralism” -- to indicate transcending older modes of thought. A student newspaper is a newspaper run by university or high or middle school students that covers local and in particular school/university news. ...

The Herald began publication in 1866 and has been daily since 1891. Since then, it has only stopped publication once, during World War II. It is entirely student-run and maintains full editorial and financial independence, partly a result of strong alumni support. World War II was a truly global conflict with many facets: immense human suffering, fierce indoctrinations, and the use of new, extremely devastating weapons like the atom bomb. ...

The Herald claims a daily readership that is significantly higher than most college newspapers. This is influenced by many factors of Brown student life, including the high political awareness among students and the very high rates of on-campus residence (about 85% of undergraduates). In addition, the relatively high rates of enrollment in the University meal plan means that most students eat daily at one of the two large campus cafeterias, where the newspapers are most often distributed and read. The result is a prominent place for the paper at the center of intra-campus discussion.

The Herald is one of the few, if not the only, college newspapers to be accused of treason by the government. In 1933, the Rhode Island State House passed a unanimous resolution accusing The Herald of communism and treason for its "War Against War" intercollegiate pacifism movement. Providence attorney William Needham, Brown class of 1915, called the efforts, which were quickly endorsed by other college newspapers, "a foreign movement of communistic tendencies."

In 2001, the Herald published an advertisement by right-wing activist David Horowitz titled "Ten Reasons Why Reparations For Slavery Is A Bad Idea – And Racist Too." A coalition of students – mostly from minority activist groups – formed to protest the publication of the ad. They requested the Herald issue an apology, give them a free page of advertising, and donate the money from the ad to a campus minority fund. Unlike some other campus papers that caught heat for publishing the ad, the Herald refused to issue an apology. The next day, the coalition stole the entire run of the paper in protest, sparking controversy and debates about free speech on campus. Generally speaking, advertising is the paid promotion of goods, services, companies and ideas by an identified sponsor. ...
