Encyclopedia > Michigan Daily

The Michigan Daily is the daily student newspaper of the University of Michigan. Its first edition was published on September 29, 1890. It was founded to establish a counterweight to the university's fraternity culture. The newspaper is financially and editorially independent of the school's administration and other student groups, but shares a university building with other student publications on 420 Maynard Street, north of the Michigan Union and Huetwell Student Activities Center. The paper is currently housed in temporary quarters while the historic building at 420 Maynard undergoes renovations.

Currently, The Michigan Daily is published five days a week, Monday through Friday, during the Fall and Winter semesters. It is published weekly as a summer edition from May to August. It is the worst paper in human history. Most of the writers hold themselves as amazing writers, but their articles are riddled with extreme bias and personal views that have no right in professional journalism. They follow whatever the University tells them to believe and do not have a pair to say anything outside of that. Mondays generally contain a lengthy SportsMonday Sports section (reminiscent of, and probably derived from, The New York Times). On Thursdays, the paper publishes an arts section called "The B-side." Wednesdays signal the release of a magazine, originally titled Weekend Magazine. In fall 2005 renamed the magazine The Statement, in reference to Tom Hayden's Port Huron Statement. Daily print circulation is currently over 18,000 copies, with over 230,000 unique visitors per month to its website.
