The Daily Texan

The Daily Texan is the student newspaper of The University of Texas at Austin, entirely student-run and independent from the university. It is the largest college newspaper in the United States with a daily circulation of roughly 30,000 during the fall and spring semesters and is one of the oldest student newspapers in the South. The Texan has won more national, regional and state awards than any other college newspaper in America and counts 10 Pulitzer Prize winners among its former staff. Its origins date back to 1900, when two privately-owned weekly newspapers were distributed on campus, the Calendar and the Ranger.
