The Yale Daily News is a newspaper published by Yale University students in New Haven, Connecticut since January 28, 1878. The paper's first editors wrote: Cover of Yale Daily News magazine, January 2005. ... Cover of Yale Daily News magazine, January 2005. ... Yale redirects here. ...

January 28 is the 28th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1878 (MDCCCLXXVIII) was a common year starting on Tuesday (see link for calendar). ...

Financially and editorially independent of Yale since its founding, the paper is published by a student editorial and business staff five days a week, Monday through Friday, during Yale's academic year. Called the YDN (or sometimes the Yale News, the News or the Daily News), the paper is produced in the Briton Hadden Memorial Building at 202 York Street in New Haven and printed offsite. Each day reporters, mainly freshmen and sophomores, cover the University and the city of New Haven. An expanded sports section is published on Monday; "scene", an arts and living section, on Friday.

Staff members are elected as editors on the managing board during their junior year. A single chairman led the News until 1970. Today, the editor-in-chief and publisher act as co-presidents of the paper. The "News' View," a staff editorial, represents the position of the majority of the editorial board.

The paper version of the News is distributed for free throughout Yale's campus and the city of New Haven; it is also published online. The paper was once a subscription-only publication, delivered by mail for $40 a year. But subscriptions declined after the 1986 founding of the weekly (and free) Yale Herald student newspaper, bottoming out at 570 in 1994. ^[1] The News switched to free distribution later that year. The Yale Herald is a weekly newspaper run by students at Yale University. ...

The YDN claims to be the "Oldest College Daily" in the United States. This is contested, with varying degrees of vigor and persuasiveness, by other student papers. The Harvard Crimson claims to be "the oldest continuously published college daily", but traces its roots to an 1873 bimonthly publication called The Magenta. Likewise, the Daily Targum at Rutgers University was founded in 1869 but was published initially as a monthly newspaper. The Columbia Daily Spectator, founded one year earlier than the YDN in 1877, claims to be the second-oldest college daily. The Cornell Daily Sun, launched in 1880, claimed to be the "oldest independent college newspaper", notwithstanding the YDN's independence since its founding two years earlier. The Dartmouth of Dartmouth College, which opened in 1843 as a monthly, calls itself the oldest college newspaper, though not the oldest daily (nor is it related to a local eighteenth-century paper called the Dartmouth Gazette, though it claims to be^{[citation needed]}). Rumpus Magazine, a Yale news and humor monthly founded in 1992, satirically claims to be the "Oldest College Tabloid." The Harvard Crimson, of Harvard University, is the United States oldest continuously published daily college newspaper. ... This article is in need of improvement. ...
