The Daily Free Press is the independent student newspaper of Boston University, a private research university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The newspaper was founded in 1970 by a group of Boston University students who wanted to create a publication to serve the campus community. Since its inception, The Daily Free Press has been entirely student-operated, with faculty advisors providing guidance and oversight. The newspaper remains under the ownership and management of Boston University students. The Daily Free Press covers a wide range of topics relevant to the Boston University community, including campus news, student life, sports (with a strong focus on the school's athletic teams, the Terriers), arts and entertainment, and local Boston news that impacts the university. As a student-run publication, the newspaper provides an opportunity for Boston University students to gain hands-on experience in journalism, reporting, and media production. The Daily Free Press' offices are located on the Boston University campus. One interesting fact: Despite its status as a student-run newspaper, The Daily Free Press 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 Boston University students.
