The Daily Californian holds a distinctive place in the world of university student newspapers. Established three years after UC Berkeley’s founding, the newspaper today covers the campus community of our country’s top public research university, the iconic city metropolis of Berkeley, the immense 10-campus UC system, and more.

Donations from alumni and friends help the Daily Cal fulfill its mission of providing a hands-on training ground for the next generation of award-winning student journalists. Independent journalism is more important than ever. With your support, we fund student stipends, scholarships, training and the Daily Cal experience that you remember.
