The Minnesota Daily is the official student-run newspaper of the University of Minnesota, established in 1900. Originally starting as a monthly literary magazine called the Ariel in 1877, it became a daily publication to compete with another student paper. The Minnesota Daily was the first college newspaper to offer online content in 1990 and transitioned to an online-only format in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The publication provides daily news coverage focused on university-related topics, including administration updates, student activities, sports, and arts and entertainment. It also produces multimedia content such as web-exclusive videos and photo slideshows, along with an opinion section featuring editorials and guest columns. The Minnesota Daily serves the university community, including students, faculty, and alumni, and is managed by student editors and staff.
