The Daily Californian is the independent student newspaper of the University of California, Berkeley, a public research university located in Berkeley, California. The newspaper was founded in 1871 by a group of UC Berkeley students who wanted to create a publication to serve the campus community. Since its inception, The Daily Californian has been entirely student-operated, with faculty advisors providing guidance and oversight. The newspaper remains under the ownership and management of UC Berkeley students. The Daily Californian covers a wide range of topics relevant to the UC Berkeley community, including campus news, student life, sports (with a strong focus on the school's athletic teams, the California Golden Bears), arts and entertainment, and local Berkeley news that impacts the university. As a student-run publication, the newspaper provides an opportunity for UC Berkeley students to gain hands-on experience in journalism, reporting, and media production. The Daily Californian's offices are located on the UC Berkeley campus. One interesting fact: Despite its status as a student-run newspaper, The Daily Californian has a long history of award-winning journalism. Over the years, the publication and its student staff have been recognized by various collegiate press associations for their investigative reporting, in-depth feature writing, and innovative multimedia content, demonstrating the high caliber of work produced by UC Berkeley students.
