About the Prince

Journalism by students.
Built to endure.

Since 1876, The Daily Princetonian has informed, challenged, and connected the Princeton community through independent student journalism.

The Prince is Princeton’s only daily student news publication. It is entirely student-run, not-for-profit, and financially independent from Princeton University.

For 150 years, generations of students have learned to report rigorously, ask difficult questions, and tell the stories that shape Princeton. This anniversary celebrates that legacy—and the students who will carry it forward.
