The Minnesota Daily is an independent, student-produced newspaper on the Twin Cities campus of the University of Minnesota. The paper is published Monday thru Friday during the fall and spring, and on Wednesdays during the summer. A non-profit corporation with tax-exempt status, The Daily operates as a training institution, governed by a Board of Directors, who each year select an editor-in-chief, business manager and president to run the newspaper as the Office of the Publisher.
More than 100 years old, The Daily has grown from a small arts weekly founded near the 19th century's close to become one of the nation's largest college newspapers, and one of the very few that are entirely student-operated. Though a portion of The Daily's funding comes from a fee assessed to all students on campus taking classes full-time, the majority of its publishing costs are covered by selling advertisements.
The National Scholastic Press Association, based and incorporated in Minnesota as a non-profit educational association, provides journalism education services to students, teachers, media advisers and others throughout the United States and in other countries. NSPA has three divisions. Memberships for middle school, junior high school and high school student media are organized under the National Scholastic Press Association division of NSPA. Memberships for college, university and professional and technical school student media are organized under the Associated Collegiate Press division of NSPA. Middle school, junior high school and high school student media in Minnesota are organized under the Minnesota High School Press Association division of NSPA. Memberships are open to all student media at public and private schools at an annual membership fee. NSPA is to be governed, in accordance with its bylaws, by a board of directors consisting of three faculty members of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication (SJMC) at the University of Minnesota, where NSPA has its headquarters, and at least three other board members representing the range of high school, college and Minnesota high school student media served by NSPA and its ACP and MHSPA divisions.
