Why Donate?
Your contributions not only help us improve the newspaper but they help us ensure our staffers have the best resources and education to pursue journalistic passions and careers and report on key Princeton issues, experiences, and perspectives. In particular, thanks to the support of alumni and readers, we can continue to expand our stipend program for editorial staffers on financial aid. These stipends have allowed us to create a more representative staff and, more importantly, help students overcome financial hardship so they can invest more time and involvement with the ‘Prince.’ We have already supported 30+ students since the 2021 pilot; all of this has translated into more engagement and leadership amongst our hardworking staff.

For 2023, the ‘Prince’ is aiming to raise $20,000, with most of the funds being dedicated to the financial stipend program and the rest going into the endowment, software, equipment, and education.

These investments will directly support the 400+ ‘Prince’ members as well as the greater Princeton community through higher quality journalism.

Ultimately, we hope you will join us in our mission as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit of educating Princeton students in journalism, business, and technology with your generous contribution.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to bm@dailyprincetonian.com. It is always our pleasure to hear from supporters!

With gratitude,

The 147th Business Manager

About Us

The Daily Princetonian is dedicated to serving Princetonians past, present, and future through transparent, accurate, and empathetic reporting. In this spirit, we aim to forge connections among those invested in the Princeton community, no matter who they are and where they are.

Since 1876, The Daily Princetonian (the ‘Prince’) has served as Princeton University’s only daily student news publication. Our paper is student-run, not-for-profit, and financially independent from the University. Although we take pride in our print paper, we commit ourselves to becoming a digital-first organization and interacting with our readers in new and innovative ways, on whatever platform they desire.

We perform, first and foremost, a public service. We seek to inform and engage our readers by delivering reliable, timely, and truthful news and commentary that matter. We aim to drive campus conversation, uphold high journalistic standards, and innovate in how we tell stories.

In particular, we resolve to elevate voices that have historically been underrepresented, both on our campus and in our newsroom, and to tell these stories with an eye towards clarity and accessibility. In short, we commit to holding ourselves accountable, in order to keep others accountable inside and outside of our community.

As the landscape of the journalism industry demands greater diversity, both in the newsroom and in coverage, we are striving to meet the call. Our staff comprises nearly 400 undergraduate students, many of them writers, photographers, entrepreneurs, podcasters, and so much more. No matter their background, all are committed to our singular mission.
