Daily Bruin

UCLA's independent, student-run newspaper since 1919. Find us on news stands around campus, on Twitt

Since 1919, The Daily Bruin has served as UCLA’s premier source of campus news for students and members of the university. The paper has published each school day of the year since the mid-1920s. The Bruin is now the only five-day paper serving a University of California campus. Countless alumni from The Bruin have gone on to work for top daily newspapers and news organizations around the world. B

ruin alumni have gone on to receive four Pulitzer Prizes and a Nobel Peace Prize. In Kerckhoff 118, the Daily Bruin’s central-campus office, about 500 students work in 14 editorial sections to produce the paper each day. Students serve as the paper’s editors, reporters, photographers, videojournalists, designers and programmers. An editorial board composed of UCLA students serves as the newspaper’s official voice on matters concerning students. The Bruin also regularly performs strongly in college media competitions. In 2014, the paper received the ACP Pacemaker award, widely recognized as the most prestigious honor in college journalism, for the nation’s best daily college newspaper. In 2015, the paper received 30 California College Media Association awards, including the award for Best Daily Newspaper in the state for the second year in a row. The Bruin is one of the most applied-to organizations on campus, with about 560 students submitting applications each year. About 9,000 copies of the paper are distributed each day at dozens of locations across UCLA. The paper is also read each day by thousands of students using phones, laptops and tablets to browse the Daily Bruin’s online content. The Daily Bruin also runs bruinwalk.com, UCLA’s professor and apartment review website, and publishes prime, a quarterly arts, culture and lifestyle magazine. Because UCLA does not have a journalism major or school, the Daily Bruin serves as the university’s primary training ground for young journalists. Daily Bruin alumni have worked at many top news organizations, including National Public Radio, BBC, the New York Times and the Washington Post. As a student-managed and edited newspaper, the Bruin promotes student involvement and responsibility by providing practical journalism experience and opportunities for students to develop and improve their journalism and business skills and prepare for media and other careers. The Daily Bruin is published Monday through Friday during the academic year and on Mondays during summer.
