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 200 undergraduate students, many of them writers, photographers, entrepreneurs, podcasters, and so much more. No matter their background, all are committed to our singular mission.
