The Daily Iowan is an independent, 19,500-circulation daily student newspaper serving Iowa City and the University of Iowa community. It has consistently won a number of collegiate journalism awards, including multiple National Pacemaker Awards, and is generally regarded as one of the finest student newspapers in the country.
George Gallup, creator of the Gallup poll, served as editor of The Daily Iowan in the early 1920s. The newspaper's publisher is William Casey, who has served in the post since 1976. He is credited with starting the newspaper's scholarship program for talented future journalists, who have since worked at news agencies such as The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The St. Petersburg Times, The Dallas Morning News, Star Tribune, The Des Moines Register, and the Times-Picayune.
Like many other newspapers, the Daily Iowan publishes detailed arrest records. The records then become easily accessible from search engines and remain online permanently, whether or not the suspects are convicted of the alleged crimes.
Tony Phan is the Web Editor. Beau Elliot is the newspaper's copy chief and Tuesday columnist.
