The Michigan Daily is the student-run newspaper serving the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor and is financially independent from the university. It published its first issue on September 29, 1890 and follows a publication schedule of Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms, with weekly issues in the spring and summer. The paper is based in the Stanford Lipsey Student Publications Building, a renovated facility funded in part by a gift from alumnus Stanford Lipsey that added accessibility features and other amenities. The Daily covers university life, administration, sports, faculty, culture, as well as the town of Ann Arbor and student-relevant issues. Its alumni include figures such as Arthur Miller, Thomas Dewey, Tom Hayden and Bruce Wasserstein, who have gone on to work in major media outlets. In February 2024, The Michigan Daily launched a Douglass Day Transcribe-a-thon to help make historical letters more recognizable and accessible.
