The Daily Tar Heel is a student-run newspaper serving UNC-Chapel Hill and Orange County, North Carolina. News content is produced entirely by student journalists under the direction of an editor-in-chief, with Alli Pardue serving as editor-in-chief for the 2025-26 term. The paper operates with fiscal and editorial independence, having stopped taking UNC student fees in 1993 and funded through advertising revenue, the 1893 Brand Studio, and private giving. The organization is governed by a 12-member student-majority board of directors, and a broad student staff participates across news, production design, advertising sales, marketing, and customer service, with professional staff supporting key functions. It includes an in-house advertising team and the 1893 Brand Studio, a student-powered agency offering services from design to paid content creation.
