The Stanford Daily is the student-run, independent daily newspaper serving Stanford University. The Daily is distributed throughout campus and the surrounding community of Palo Alto, California, United States. It has published since the University was founded in 1892.[1]
The paper publishes weekdays during the academic year. Unlike many other campus publications, it enjoys a wide circulation of 10,000 and is distributed at 500 locations throughout the Stanford campus, including dormitory dining halls, and in the city of Palo Alto. In addition to the daily newspaper, the Daily publishes two weekly supplements: Intermission, a weekly pullout entertainment section, and Cardinal Today, a weekly sports "outsert" during football and basketball seasons. The Daily also published several special issues every year: The Orientation Issue, Big Game Issue, and The Commencement Issue. In the fall of 2008, staffers will move into a state-of-the-art building near the recently renovated Old Student Union.

[edit] History
The paper began as a small publication known locally as The Daily Palo Alto (not to be confused with the Palo Alto Daily News). The Stanford Daily Publishing Corporation, a non-profit corporation that operates the newspaper, was founded in 1973, after the newspaper became independent from the University and embroiled in a legal battle over the identities of unnamed Vietnam War protesters in photos printed in the paper. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court, where the newspaper faced off against the Palo Alto Police Department in Zurcher v. Stanford Daily. The Court ruled 5–3 in favor of Zurcher. After the Daily became independent from the university, a volunteer group of alumni founded an organization to provide support for the newspaper.
